Who is Dynam Victor Fumet?

Here is a brief biography.

1.- Born in Toulousse, France 1867.
2.- Cesar Frank's brilliant pupil.
3.- Outstanding organist.
4.- Friendship with Erik Satie, Verlaine, Leon Bloy, J. Rictus.
5.- A major interest (vocation) into the mysticism.
This spiritual vocation will be the 'interference' between him and (his)
succes in the field of music.
6.- His works: several motets and songs, Symphonic works, 4 masses, piano
pieces and works for organ.
7.- Fumet died in Paris (1949) at the age of 82.

Fumet's "Six Character Studies" played by Akiko Ebi at the piano, is
something worth listening.  This "Cybelia" (defunct label) CD (Paris,1987)
includes other 6 piano pieces.  (Among those, "Nocturne" and "Joie"
<scherzo de concert> are outstanding).

I would like to know if there are other Fumet' works already recorded by
(in) other labels.(The 'newest' "Schwann Opus" I get is a 'Fall 1995' (!).

So, any info, comments, opinions about this French composer are very
welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Dave.
