Critic reviews
“Guerrero conducts in a way that allows the dazzling music to sound expressive, and soloist Peter Otto masters both the expressiveness and the virtuosity of the solo part with equal success.”
Pizzicato, 5 stars, March 2026
“This is Peter Otto’s first recording as a soloist… his virtuosity and musicality in the concerto were very impressive.”

This CD provides a very clear recording of the symphony and violin concerto. Kip Winger is a truly talented orchestral composer who brings a fresh approach, born out of his rock roots. Listening to his music – especially in the violin concerto – you can hear the heavy metal influence. Peter Otto does a phenomenal job of performing this complex work; the orchestral version of “shredding.” I also love the research that went into the different flowers’ individual meanings. Just as you can tell when food has been prepared with love, you can tell when an artist truly loves creating music.
Both of these pieces carry strong emotions. The symphony is darker and has a tone of a lost soul searching for meaning, or a connection. The violin concerto serves as a great counterpoint, with a much lighter and fulfilled tone.
Both are excellent and reveal Mr. Winger’s burgeoning talent in this new musical direction. I think music history will reflect how innovative these pieces truly are. I look forward to seeing what he composes next!
I'm very happy with my order of the Kip Winger Orchestral CD. I received it on time as promised and will definitely order more merchandise soon. Thank you.
Beautiful recording!
