In addition, Kurt Atterberg attacked Garaguly’s nomination because he was not born in Sweden (although he had lived there for half his life and was married to a Swedish woman).〔Schuberth, John. 'The Stockholm “Konsertförening”, 1914-46'. In the book accompanying BIS 421/424 - Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra 75 years - 1914-1989, Grammofon AB BIS, 1988.〕 His primary repertoire interest was modern music, but he also conducted the major classics.

He was conductor of the Arnhem Symphony Orchestra (officially called Het Gelders Orkest (HGO) in Dutch) from 1959-1972, and the Sønderjyllands Symfoniorkester in Denmark from 1965 to 1979, while also returning to Stockholm to guest conduct.〔 He gave the premiere of the symphony of Anne-Marie Ørbeck in 1954 in Bergen.〔(Norwegian MIC ), accessed 2 February 2013〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carl von Garaguly」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
