Writing about his previous Analekta album, Immortal and Beloved, a collaboration with the Gryphon Trio, featuring Beethoven’s An die ferne Geliebte and songs by James Wright, Frédéric Cardin of Radio-Canada compared Pike’s performance with those of Christian Gerhaher and Matthias Goerne. Whither must I wander?, his début disc on Signum Records, a recital of English songs by Vaughan Williams, Quilter and Finzi, earned a five-star review in BBC Music Magazine, was nominated for the International Classical Music Awards and for Recording of the Year by MusicWeb International.

David studied with William Perry at the Royal Conservatory of Music, Toronto, under Theresa Goble at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London and privately with American bass Daniel Lewis Williams in Germany.
