"Vesalii Icones is one of Peter Maxwell Davies's supreme achievements. An extraordinarily allusive, multilayered fusion of dance and music, its dramatic shape superimposes the 14 stations of the cross on a series of 16th-century anatomical drawings by Vesalius, with a dancer and a solo cellist as the protagonists." The Guardian, August 2011
