Yes, and a very charming and rather apt cover, I think.

Well, on a GALLO CD of 2000, entitled "Chant et Piano", there are also "dix rondes et ballades françaises" (10 duos for soprano and baritone), "six mélodies de jeunesse" and "trois ballades françaises", which means that the Toccata CD does not really contain EJD's "complete" songs. It contains his complete, earlier German-language Lieder. The Gallo CD (which is worth investigating) contains French "mélodies" (songs), as interpteted by Audrey Michael and Philippe Huttenlocher.

Well, that's all it claims. Songs != lieder, as categories.
His Op.54 is 10 vocal Scènes d'Enfants,  Op.60 is a set of Nouvelles chansons avec gestes (see IMSLP), Op.58 is 6 Nouvelles chansons, etc. (some of which involve strings as well as piano.) (And children's duets with piano, Op.37, "Rondes".)
