The international Finnish organist Kalevi Kiviniemi died yesterday in Lahti, a week after suffering a heart attack.

Starting out at the organ of his hometown church, Kiviniemi was the first to record the complete organ music of Jean Sibelius. He toured the world, playing more than 2,000 concerts on the most celebrated organs.

He was awarded the Finnish state prize for music.
