Nevertheless, I think the lot will still be found in print in Germany.
Have you tried amazon.de? Wergo is wholly owned by B.  Schott's Sohne
in Mainz, the publisher of virtually all of Francaix's music.  This
encourages them to keep available all manner of older recordings of
Schott publications.  How very odd I have often felt it is, that the
former publisher of Lieder der Hitler-Jugend and other bestsellers of the
Third Reich should have so wholeheartedly taken on this quintessentially
French music.

While there is plenty of "thorny new music" in the Wergo stable, there is
also plenty of middle-of-the-road 20th C.  stuff, including Paul Hindemith,
Karl Amadeus Hartmann, and others of their generation.  BTW, Schott have
reprinted most of their long-dormant Ervin Schulhoff holdings, subject to
total corporate amnesia from ca.  1935 to about 1990.
