modern but not really better

Why Netrebko? Certainly because the name attracts. Why Domingo and Netrebko? Give the people spectacle and look forward uncontrollably and possibly some non-critical. Netrebko is quite a great soprano, but certainly not the best. The development of her voice does not please me. Domingo are confined his special way of looking, the one, the other less. The tasteless and completely shameless marketing around the two I do not try to evaluate with.
If you want to follow the development of the two and has been a Giovanna d'Arco, you get a pretty good proffered blended modern live recording here.
If you want to earn a good reception of Giovanna d'Arco, you have to choose the all not quite satisfactory: I would before this to Simoneto (emotional, sound just anno 1951 and Bergonzi, who did not reach by Meli from afar) advise or Levine (Caballé sings a grandiose Giovanna, otherwise quite a round hole, might sound too fat and undifferentiated).
Let's hope for a better inclusion in the future.
PS Mr. Tagliavini also sings with .... Please Note! Peak force, the future one should trust a lot!
