Liquorice,
The least a player today can do today to comprehend the style of the Mozart concerto is to use a printed edition that makes judicious use of the best textual and historical evidence. Which editions do you prefer, the 2003 Henle edition by Henrick Wiese, the newest (2018) edition by Charles Neidish (Keiser/Hal Leonard), or something else?
Ben,
Any recording you chose to listen to will be subject to musicological criticism.
I doubt any consensus will emerge to call a given recording definitive, especially any not performed on a basset-clarinet that attempts to replicate Stadler's original instrument. But if you want to listen to how a clarinetist who is also a composer, as well as being historically-informed, plays it in our time period, I suggest the 2015 CD (Orfeo label) recording by Jorg Widmann with Peter Rizicka conducting. Another choice would be Anthony Pay's recording with Christopher Hogwood conducting (available in reissue on CD). Pay plays the concerto on an instrument intended to approximate Stadler's. The result is very satisfying to listen to and will give you additional perspective on the Mozart, even though it was done decades ago.
