The first recording of the basset clarinet version
of the Mozart Concerto by HRS was on the
Dusseldorf-based Schwann Musica Mundi label
VMS 807 -recorded in September 1968
The edition was by the Swiss
musicologist, conductor and composer
Ernst Hess (13 May 1912 - 2 November 1968)
HRS used a modern basset clarinet
(don't know the maker)
The Koelner (Cologne) Kammerorchester
was conducted by Helmut Mueller-Bruehl

I have a tape of a wonderful performance ot the Mozart Concerto by the
superbly artistic Swiss clarinetist, Hans Rudolph Stalder. He recorded
this in the late 1960's on bassett clarinet.

Since it's such an old recording and you say it's a Basset clarinet, I just
have a few questions:
Which orchestra is it and who's conducting? Do you have any specific
information about the instrument, like who made it? Are you sure it is a
Basset clarinet? Is the recording on original or modern instruments?

Somewhere in the mass of clarinet related tapes that clutter my studio is
a tape of HRS playing K.622 on a basset clarinet, from the 70's, at one
of the National Clarinet Clinics (precursor of the ICA and ClarinetFest)
held at University of Denver. He played it on a modern instrument
extended to low C IIRC, and only with piano accompaniment. It was my
first introduction to the concept of the extended clarinet for K. 622,
and it was a revelation to me. I don't know if HRS ever made this
performance into a commercial recording.
