What sounds better, Mozart concerto and Quintet on "standard" clarinet or Basset clarinet. I prefer basset clarinet but what about everybody else out there.

Can only give personal preference, of course, but based on only two basset recordings I've heard (Shifrin and Sabine Meyer), I prefer the standard clarinet.
Feel free to recommend a basset recording that'll knock my sox off.›

Ralp G, You should try Erich Hoeprich version made with the orchestra of the 18th century and conducted by Frans Bruggen. IMO it´s the best one out there. Although, it is made on periodl intruments the intonation is not bad. I compared it to the other recordings made on period/original instruments (I don´t know the difference) and this one was WAY better. Try it. Amazon has a few sound clips about that recording in their website.

In era of Stadler, clarinets had straighter bores and may have sounded far brighter than today's clarinets：Charles Neidich plays often this type of clarinets.
Needs straight bore basset bore clarinets for comparison, played perhaps by masonist players.

Hiroshi,
Visited your Mozart webpage. Interesting, so I bookmarked it.

I love the Basset clarinet - LIVE.
I don't think it has been well recorded.
I purchased the Opus3 version with a Swede playing the BC, and it's dull.
