Hughes Cuenod in memoriam Bach Geistliche Lieder

Yoël L. Arbeitman wrote (December 8, 2010):
It appears that the legendary tenor Hughes Cuenod died on Dec. 3, 2010 aged 108.

Here are his 1954 recordings of the complete Bach Geistliche Lieder, sung with Hildegard Roessl-Majdan.
Contralto: Hilde Rössel-Majdan; Tenor: Hugues Cuénod; Cello: Richard Harand; Harpsichord: Franz Holetschek.

German texts only: http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Texts/IndexTexts8.htm
unfortunately the items are sung not always in numerical order and some items have BWV numbers extraneous to Aryeh's listing. At all events this is heavenly singing (if not the greatest of music)

The source is an out of existence company. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?tal9mm1zz4sp15q

Included are three CDs, each in a folder, ripped at 128 Kb/s mono.
RIP,
