Show detail Hide detail

Video recording of an edition of the television series L'envers du décor about the life and career of the musician Neil Chotem. Marie Perrault interviews Chotem, who discusses many aspects of his life in music, including his musical training, classical performance, exposure to jazz during his wartime service, radio and television work, composing and arranging, collaborations with chansonniers, the future of music in Québec, and possible future projects. A major topic is Chotem's role in the album L'Heptade by the rock group Harmonium. Three members of that group (Serge Fiori, Louis Valois, Monique Fauteux) appear and speak about Chotem's contributions to that recording project. Chotem performs selections of solo piano music, including his composition Pterodactyl. He also performs a jazz-influenced interpretation of Toccata (composed by Robert Schumann) in duo with drummer Denis Farmer. Vocalise (comp. Serge Rachmaninoff) is performed by an ensemble of: Chotem (piano); Fiori, Fauteux, and Marie-Claire Séguin (voice); Libert Subirana and Valois (flute and electric bass). <29mn 15s>
