What is the Fanfare Archive of Classical Music CD reviews?

Click any link on this page, and you'll soon find a wealth of information and opinions about tens of thousands of LP, CD, SACD, DVD, and Blu-Ray recordings of Classical, Jazz, and Film music that have been reviewed in Fanfare. The Archive is now complete, dating back to Issue 1:1, September 1977. An account of how this Archive came to be, and what our goals for it are, is here. We've tried to make it as subscriber-friendly as possible, for both new readers and old hands. You can't really get lost in the Archive, so we recommend just clicking on any button or link that seems interesting.

Special Thanks to the Archive's Helpers

The Fanfare Archive is a massive effort, and we couldn't do it without the many sharp-eyed readers who point out problems and offer solutions. We give special thanks to Stephen Ellis, our Fact Checker Extraordinaire with an encyclopedic knowledge of Classical Music, as well as critic J. F. Weber, who also contributes many corrections to make the Archive records accurate.
