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.

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).

[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.
