Following on from this thread - http://www.unsungcomposers.com/forum/index.php/topic,7499.msg79089.html#msg79089 (http://www.unsungcomposers.com/forum/index.php/topic,7499.msg79089.html#msg79089) - the Athens Philharmonic Orchestra (under Byron Fidetzis) has produced a CD with Vasili Kalafati's Symphony in A, Legend, and Polonaise.  It will be released in August.  I don't know on what label but the CD looks as below.  The cover is entirely in Greek bar the composer's name....

Let's hope it appears in English translation!

Naxos, maybe?

Indeed, Alan, my Athens Phil source says that it will be on Naxos.

I remember seeing/skimming the symphony (reduced score, iirc) as uploaded, it'll be nice to see and hear this recording. (Yes, I remember seeing notices here of performance videos- I forget if I've had a listen to those yet, and I will.)
