Eugenio Fernandi (1922-1991) was an Italian tenor, active in major Italian repertory during the post-war period. He sang at leading houses and appeared in several important recordings.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Puccini’s Turandot with Maria Callas, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Nicola Zaccaria and Tullio Serafin.

Fernandi’s singing belongs to the bright Italian tenor tradition, where projection, line and idiomatic phrasing must cut through Puccini’s large orchestral canvas.

His page is justified by the significance of the recording and by his wider operatic career. Fernandi gives this Puccini corner a strong tenor beam.
