He was admired by Dmitri Shostakovich, with whom he studied, who (according to Per Skans in his notes for a recording)[ which? ] suggested in a letter of 1 February 1969 to Isaak Glikman, that "If Barshai's orchestra (the Moscow chamber orchestra) makes a guest appearance in Leningrad playing Vainberg's Tenth Symphony and Boris Tchaikovsky's Sinfonietta, you really have to hear them".[ citation needed ]

Of his larger-scale works almost all have been recorded.[ citation needed ] Boris Tchaikovsky generally wrote in a tonal style, although he made brief forays into serialism.[ clarification needed ]
