"There are no ifs about Davies and Fretwork's pairing of Nyman and Purcell ... The album If (Signum Classics) is a fresh and delicate collaboration with the excellent viol group Fretwork, as versatile in their own way as Davies ... Purcell's Evening Hymn showcase Davies's famed vocal purity, but so too does the exquisite title song, Nyman's If ... Anyone who thinks Nyman's music stops at his hallmark pulsing rhythms and prominent bass lines will find variety and introspective beauty here, all executed with perfection".

"Den engelske komponist Michael Nyman fylder 75 år i år, og det er den direkte anledning til albummet 'If' ... Et konceptalbum, der viser, at Michael Nymans minimalistiske pulserende musik går rigtig godt i spænd med den engelske barokkomponist Henry Purcell ... Purcells og Nymans musik taler til hinanden på flere planer ... Iestyn Davis synger både Nyman og Purcell med ren, engleagtig skønhed ... Og så slutter albummet med en åndeløs smuk udgave af Purcells 'O solitude'".

"Davies's vocal, Fretwork's cut and thrust and Nyman's singular vision are seemingly perfect bedfellows. This is a beautifully melancholic and, by turns, delightfully spare".

"Editor's choice: The Nyman performances are exemplary - crisp and cleanly articulated from Fretwork and dispatched by Davies with a vacant, unrippled purity that is so essential to the music, and must be hard won for this instinctively expressive performer ... It's hard to believe that Purcell left no songs with viol consort accompaniment, and Boothby's meticulous arrangements offer a tantalising glimpse of what mithg have been ... All are immaculately sung by Davies, whose Peter Pan voice sounds fresher and smoother than ever".
