First...The Bilson/Gardiner set has recently been reissued, and I was seriously considering it. I like the sound of a fortepiano, and (IMO) Mozart needs all the adrenaline he can get, so I'm predisposed to liking Gardiner. What's your opinion of this set?Now, on to your question. For a modern, single-box survey my hands-down recommendation is Perahia on Sony. Perahia is peerless in this repertoire.
BUT, if you're looking to cherry-pick, there are many other choices, not the least of which include some single recent single disc issues by Goode and Brendel, along with slightly older recordings by Gilels, Ashkenazy (if he is to your taste...he is for me) and Kempff. You can safely purchase ANY (All :-?) recordings by these artists and be happy.
