Gail Archer’s Dobrich Receives Glowing Review in The American Organist Magazine
January 5, 2026

Gail Archer’s new album Dobrich: A Bulgarian Odyssey has received a glowing review from The American Organist magazine.  The reviewer, Benjamin Cornelius-Bates, praises the technical skill, novelty, and even humor of Gail Archer’s work, constituted of “a panoply of Bulgarian music composed in the last 70-plus years.”

[Archer’s] dedication to excellence and her thoughtfulness in compiling this program are truly admirable. Having an opportunity to hear repertoire from a place I am unfamiliar with while being guided by an expert is the best kind of musical journey.
