In 2011, controversy arose after Gorenstein made disparaging remarks about cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan at the Tchaikovsky International Competition in June 2011, which led to his removal as conductor for the competition.
The orchestra then demanded Gorenstein's dismissal from the orchestra, with accusations of abusive behaviour.
Gorenstein was subsequently dismissed from the orchestra in September 2011.
He is currently principal guest conductor of the Novosibirsk State Academic Symphony Orchestra. Gorenstein has conducted commercial recordings of works of Shostakovich and Schnittke.
