This may be a hopeless request, but does anyone here know the Basque language?
Trying to tackle a native European, non IE language would be utterly ruinous for me.
I'm afraid a comprehensive works list in English is non-existent.

The most important Basque composer after Ravel?
This child prodigy was composing by age eleven.
Studied at the Madrid Conservatory and in Paris under d'Indy.
His operas met with great success.
A great organist, with two prominent church postings.
When, a few months before his death, Rachmaninov lamented that he no longer had the "strength and fire" to compose, friends reminded him of the Symphonic Dances, so charged with fire and strength. "Yes," he admitted. "I don't know how that happened. That was probably my last flicker."
