Alexandrian words from American opera star Joyce DiDonato, interviewed by Martin Dickson in the Financial Times today: 'She has spoken in the past about how difficult it is to be completely in control of a voice...she makes a comparison with top athletes, who, paradoxically, can underperform by trying to exercise too much control. "You need to be in command of your technique and your body but, at the same time, you have to let it go, so that the breath is free, so that the expression is in the moment - but you can only do that if you have prepared it in the best way."' - Lunch with the FT, 1 February 2014
