I've seen the Op.5 violin sonata (without Op.#), the viola sonata (likewise) and the string quartet op17 @IMSLP but nothing else by him yet... thanks.
Can't find any recordings...
Maybe of some interest... BL has Henry Wood's score of the Overture to a Drama, and RAM has the cello/piano score of his Lied for Cello & orchestra. Fleisher has score and parts of the latter.
I find one so far - a CD with a 2.5 minute Pastorale for flute and harp (http://www.worldcat.org/title/musique-francaise/oclc/42619162 (http://www.worldcat.org/title/musique-francaise/oclc/42619162))...
