Fanfare Magazine is the leading American classical record review magazine and has lively and authoritative in-depth reviews and analysis of several hundred classical CDs in every issue. There are also many advertisements giving information about recordings never seen in the UK. This a well-written and highly informative magazine for the serious classical collector. Even with the down turn in advertising revenue caused by so many leading record labels' cutbacks, it remains the best value, and in our opinion the magazine with the finest review quality, and still offers 250 - 300 pages of concentrated reading.
