In 2002, he won the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism, for "his crisp coverage of classical music that captures its essence." He was a finalist the prize earlier in 1999, and later in 2020. Fellow music critic Jayson Greene stated that "Davidson situates classical music in the same cultural conversation as other art forms, and his dynamic prose is rich with vivid allusions to, for example, photography and painting." As of 2021, Davidson and Alex Ross at The New Yorker are the only classical music critics who write regularly for a general-interest American magazine.
Davidson was among the faculty of D-Crit, and has taught courses at the Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation.
He is married to Ariella Budick, a New York–based art critic for the Financial Times.
