a far more objective, informative, and accurate review guide for classical music. And they review lots of little known and contemporary material.
The discussions here are very enjoyable. Thanks all!

I never found Fanfare to be at all accurate as to either performance or sound quality in their reviews. With more than an occasional suspicion of advertising influence. ARG has very little advertising and mostly - if not all - from very small labels. Fanfare may be different now: I haven't picked it up in years.
Well, I admit I dropped ALL reviewing rags some years ago, including ARG and Fanfare and every other magazine subscription, when I was preparing for a move. Wifey and I never re-subscribed to anything and are just as happy not having issues of magazines piling up.
However, at the time I dropped everything, I thought Fanfare was at least independent of ad corruption. If it no longer is, I'm sorry to hear that.
