In 1958 Sargent recorded Walton's "Belshazzar's Feast", one of his specialities, which was reissued on CD in 1990 and again in 2004. He recorded Walton's "Orb and Sceptre March" and "Façade Suites". He also made a stereo recording of Walton's First Symphony in the presence of the composer, but Walton privately preferred André Previn's recording, issued in January 1967, the same month as Sargent's. Of Vaughan Williams's shorter pieces, Sargent recorded, with the BBC in 1960, the "Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis" (which he also recorded with the Philharmonia), and with the LSO, "Serenade to Music" (1957; choral version) and "Toward the Unknown Region". He recorded Vaughan Williams's overture "The Wasps" with the LSO.
