Album by William Walton & Ralph Vaughan Williams & Willard White & BBC Symphony Orchestra & BBC Symphony Chorus & Leeds Festival Chorus & Sir Andrew Davis

BBC Music, Volume 7, Number 11 is a compilation album featuring William Walton's 'Belshazzar's Feast' and Ralph Vaughan Williams's 'Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis'. 'Belshazzar's Feast' is a cantata that combines rhythmic intensity and rich orchestration to narrate the biblical story of the Babylonian king's downfall, while 'Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis' is a one-movement work for double string orchestra that draws on a 16th-century melody to create a richly textured and contemplative piece.
