Mozart K. 617 Adagio and Rondo for glass harmonica, flute, oboe, viola, and cello, played here by Ensemble Baroque de Paris on celeste (Robert Veyron-Lacroix), flute (Maxence Larrieu) , oboe (Pierre Pierlot), violin (Robert Gendre), and bassoon (Paul Honge). Lovely performance of a relatively brief  (9:47 in this recording) hauntingly beautiful work. It's in Mozart's Masonic music vein.

Rec. 1975, Denon, o.o.p.

Rest of this CD  -- J.C. Bach, Quantz, Haydn, etc. is excellent too. These were superb players, and they picked very good pieces to play,

BTW the use of the celeste rather than the glass harmonica is all for the best IMO; the sound of the latter instrument can make your fillings ache.
