Fanfare is an American bimonthly magazine devoted to reviewing recorded music in all playback formats. It mainly covers classical music, but since inception, has also featured a jazz column in every issue.

History and profile

Fanfare was founded on 1 September 1977 "as a labor of love"^[1] by an elementary-school teacher turned editor named Joel Bruce Flegler (born 1941). After 47 years, he is still the publisher.^[1]^[2]

The magazine now runs to over 600 pages in a 6 in × 9 in (150 mm × 230 mm) format with about 80% of the editorial copy devoted to record reviews, and a front section with a substantial number of interviews and feature articles.^[3] It avoids equipment and pop music coverage, and includes reviews of more classical releases than most similar magazines.^[1]^[4]

Subscriptions include online access to current content and archives of past issues.^[5]
