Peter with his technical wizardry
Enhances his client’s ability
He grins like a Cheshire cat
And says, "let’s listen to that,"
In tones of tactful diplomacy.

"Peter . . . Your visions in sound for these X-mas classics are superb
Your instrumental colorings are imaginative, and well suited for the music lines that they support. The emotional appeal of each rendition will engage many a listener. Rather then tired versions we usually hear at Christmas, your renditions are inspired and have passion and drama. This is certainly what these carols need to properly reflect the great music that is contained in them. What Child is This shows great sensitivity and mystery, as expressed by your brilliant piano variations . . . You are a skilled arranger and instrumentalist . . . thank you for the pleasure and emotional lift I got after hearing your [music]."
-- TAXI A&R Rep

"It was an absolute pleasure working with Peter on Stone. I had written the song on guitar and heard what it could be in my head, but never imagined that it would turn out as well as it did! Peters orchestration and musicianship took Stone to a new level. I only hope that we have the opportunity to work together again very soon. I look forward to it!"
-- Michael Sweet

"Pete had a good reputation
For doing great orchestration
Making bells ring
Or faking the strings
He could create without hesitation.
- Jori, sometime years ago

"Soothing and peaceful inspiring instrumentals . . . a really fine and inspiring collection."
-- Alan Campbell, newCDnews.com (on "Glimpses of the Spirit")

"What wonderful work you are doing. Interesting arrangements, strong vocals, wonderful playing. Overall, all three of these [songs] are strong and professional in their sound and approach . . . You are a strong writer and arranger and I look forward to hearing more from you in the future"

Mister minister Peter V
Is a sort of magic man for me
He can make you sound nice
Even add a little spice
So noise becomes music in verity.

“Wonderful production! Believe me, we have heard so many that we nickname
‘underwater’ recordings because the production is so bad. [Peter’s] is truly refreshing!”
-- Sr. Bridget Charles, Director, Pauline Records

"Glimpses of the Spirit is a most welcome CD. I'm glad you created one devoted to featuring instrumental music - Great for meditation and quiet time. Love your playing, especially on #3 JOY - Oh, very nice!! And KINDNESS, too - so many gems!"
-- Don Wilkins, former Film Scoring Department Chairman, Berklee College of Music
