English rock legends are remembered in this concert of American tributes. Marking the 40th anniversary of John Lennon’s death, we hear Lukas Foss remember him with “a plaintive electric guitar line”, while with the fourth anniversary of David Bowie’s death in mind, we hear the first of three works Philip Glass wrote incorporating ideas from Bowie’s own music. And the band Radiohead inspired Steve Reich to compose a work mingling his own ideas with two of their hit songs.
