The Finnish composer Kalevi Aho is the great expert on Klami's music and has compiled an extensive catalogue of the older composer's compositions. Unfortunately (from my point of view) the catalogue is only available in Finnish. I therefore aplogise for errors in translation.

Many thanks for these additions :)
I have amended the catalogue accordingly.
Finlandia recorded a beautiful performance of Psalmus in 1988. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Klami-Psalmus-Soderblom/dp/B00004SFW3/ref=sr_1_26?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1336794093&sr=1-26
Opernredoute was recorded by Ondine http://www.amazon.co.uk/Invitation-Valse-Finnish-National-Orchestra/dp/B0000260ND/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1336793985&sr=1-1
Thanks for the additions :)
I don't know if this counts but, Bearer of the Golden Staff was recorded on Cd by the Helsinki Business School Chorus & the Helsinki University Orchestra (it was written for them) in a special centenary recording in the early 90s.
Very very hard to find. Only 500 pressed.
The ballet 'Whirls' (Pyörteitä) may not have been completed, but a Suite No. 1 and Suite No. 2 were extracted from the music and recorded by BIS - BIS CD 656 - by the Lahti SO under Osmo Vänskä. Actually my favourite opus by Klami. :D
Or does your policy forbid you to list these? :o
Policies which exclude certain forms of music can lead one into all sorts of hot water ;D I have added the Ballet Suites from "Whirls" :)
