Can anyone tell me if this was the first CLASSICAL organ recording issued by Victor? I’m working this piece up for a recital

People have different ideas of what constitutes 'classical' music.
EDVR is a good resource if you don't know of it. I've narrowed down the search results to organ recordings.

There are some His Master's Voice recordings, dating from as early as 1911, of organ pieces played by the British light-music composer Easthope Martin; they include Mendelssohn's Wedding March, the 'Cuckoo and Nightingale' movement from Handel's F major organ concerto arranged as a solo piece, and various display pieces of the French romantic school. I have no idea whether Victor took these up for circulation in the United States. The instrument seems to be a respectable though small organ with two manuals and a pedal-board.
