Amazing how things get left behind although this has to do partially with the chaos of two world wars, the ever-constant demand for novelty and so-called "high fidelity" pushed upon/ thirsted for among the music-listening public and the problem of ever-extending copyrights being pushed by big entertainment companies like Disney... A whole can of worms... Cemil Bey (1873-1916) was absolutely every bit as much a classical musician as, say, Claude Debussy (1862–1918). Some six hours of his recordings are available through the Traditional Crossroads CD series.

She also mentions that there were a few Camil Beys from back in the day - its a common name, and Bey just means Mister. Cheers! Hi Ian,
