I agree. I love domingo's singing. I also love Fritz and Jussi. Fritz does Mozart so effortlessly, yet listen to his italian pronounciation on 'Ombra mai fu', and hear how dodgy it is. Despite all of his gleaming vocal talent, his interpretation is not quite up there. (Having said that, anything he sang in german was second to none). But in his italian singing, his germanic vowels stick out like a sore thumb. So what is more important, glorious technique, ala Wunderlich, or glorious interpretation, ala Domingo (singing something other than mozart)?? Both, I would say.
