Great stuff. Amazing.
Isn't there a bit of Vakulabharanam in the first link in a few places in the first half? ( or is it mayamalavagowla? )

Vasanthakokilam,
(rambling)
making tones/noise (let us be clear -- not music !) on a wineglass is a favorite pastime of mine at restaurants much to the embarrassment & shock of everyone at my table and around !
But I have a friend in Ann Arbor, Michigan who actually had formal music written for the glass harmonica played at his wedding. HIs name is a mouthful and will outgun any Ramasubramaniam Venkatasubramaniam from our part of the world... it is Erdvilas Kazimieras Jonas Bankauskas (of Lithuanian origin).
After I took him to the venerable Smt. Seetha Doraiswamy's concert for the Michigan Tamil Sangam in the 90s, he played several recordings of glass harmonica featuring the compositions of Mozart, Handel for me.
Later, I saw a beautiful vignette of glass harmonica being played in the Fellini movie "And the ship sails on"...
Cheers,
-Srini.

"A scene from the film "E la nave va", directed by Federico Fellini, where the Musical moment No. 3 in F minor by Franz Schubert is interpreted by a "glass orchestra"..."

Precisement ! There are no subtitles on this one, but the old man in the goatee is petulantly chiding the other one with a "srutiyE seralai... you are tone-deaf !
