- 1.Athenäum. Zeitschrift für das gebildete Deutschland. Nr. 9, Berlin, 27. Februar 1841, S. 141: (…) verdient das Konzert des Kammermusikus Gährich lobende Erwähnung. Wir hören darin die Ouverure zu seiner neuen Oper: die Creolin; sie ist gut gearbeitet, effektreich, und läßt auf das Ganze vortheilhaft schließen. Weniger sagten uns die Huldigungscantaten zu. Sie waren zu sehr Gelegenheitssachen. Der Sohn des Conzertgebers, ein Schüler Tauberts, bewährte sich als talentreicher Clavierspieler.
