“Wintringham has been a major force in the saxophone world…He has a nice and resonant sound; he boasts an excellent set of fingers and articulation; he phrases with an artistic awareness well beyond his years; and he tackles the postmodernist content of his program with extreme volume shifts, daring color changes, and a deft command of glissandos and slap tongue…His vibrato is thoughtfully rendered, always warm and well placed…”

The focused second movement was absolutely stunning… For [the saxophone octet ‘Passacaglia’ by Durr], Mr. Wintringham displayed his fabulous talent as a chamber musician…”

"Saxophonist Jonathan Wintringham can make his horn sing. When he plays, his sound has a way of swallowing a room and all that's in it, drawing you into the musical world he is creating. He is young and exciting, as audiences last spring learned when he performed Tomasi's Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra."
-Arizona Daily Star
“I was not so much ‘pleasantly surprised’ as ‘blown away,’ first by the music itself and then by the performance…Wintringham’s saxophone sang effortlessly yet expressively…Wintringham scored a resounding triumph in three movements from Astor Piazolla’s Histoire du Tango.”

“To say that these musicians [including Wintringham] were top-notch is not giving them nearly enough credit. They were fabulous, each possessing a confidence and grace that comes from somewhere beyond experience…it’s easy to understand [Wintringham’s] accolades: this University of Arizona standout has the chops. He delivers a lovely sound that is graceful and exciting. You couldn’t help but lean forward in your seat and give this guy your full attention throughout his performance.”
