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[edit]

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 42 years, he is still the publisher.[1][2]
The magazine now runs to over 600 pages in a 6" x 9" 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 manages to include reviews
of many more classical releases than is typical for other magazines in this
genre.[1][4] The magazine's business model includes the editor directly
contacting artists unsolicited, guaranteeing a review if they advertise in the
magazine.
Subscriptions include online access to current content and archives of past
issues.[5]
