In Russia, he holds a post as professor of conducting at the St Petersburg Conservatoire.

Sinaisky was Principal Guest Conductor of the BBC Philharmonic from 1996 until January 2012. Sinaisky has made several recordings with the BBC Philharmonic for Chandos, including works by Karol Szymanowski, Rodion Shchedrin, Mily Balakirev, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov,[1] and Franz Schreker,[2] as well as a series of recordings of Dmitri Shostakovich's film music.
