Vassily Kalafati (1869-1942) is certainly an intriguing composer. Here's his worklist, which contains a symphony, two strings quartets and other pieces:
http://russiancomposers.org.uk/page575.html Yes, the fact that he composed in the style of Rimsky is quite tantalizing! But, unfortunately, not a note of his music appears to have been recorded :(
On the bright side, his Symphony in A major and some solo piano pieces are help at IMSLP:
http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Kalafati,_VasilyThe Russian composer Vassily Kalafati (1869-1942) came up in the discussion thread on the Schubert 1928 Centennial Contest (Kalafati's entry, the symphonic poem Legenda, won a prize).
Anyway, I have come across some small pieces by Kalafati, and some other unsung Russians (Klenovsky, Winkler, Sokolov,.....), that have been recorded. I hope they pass the copyright test, as they concern an old Soviet movie, as follows:
Robert Schumann wrote, in 1834-35, a series of small pieces for piano called "Carnaval - Scènes mignonnes sur quatre notes". It consists of a collection of 22 short pieces representing masked revelers at Carnival, a festival before Lent (2 pieces were not numbered)

In the Soviet period, a film was made of this, and someone has extracted the music and put it online here

http://files.mail.ru/BD33A97B9D3B455DA961B7E0BDBAD8B8 I am hazarding a guess that as this refers to a Soviet-era movie, copyright rules won't apply
I also have a question: movement 4 ("Valse noble") was orchestrad by one A. Petrov. Who can this have been, does anyone have any idea? It can't have been the Soviet-era composer Andrei Petrov, he was only born in 1930!
