Raymond Bernard

Raymond Bernard (not to be confused with the famous director of the same name) was a conductor, arranger and composer. After debuting in Ray Ventura's band, he became a member of the orchestra accompanying the circus shows in the early days of French television ("La piste aux étoiles" (1945)_). He also accompanied Gilbert Bécaud and Serge Reggiani during their song recitals. In parallel Raymond Bernard wrote a few scores for the cinema (A Bullet in the Gun Barrel (1958), Le Sicilien (1958), L'ennemi dans l'ombre (1960)) and or for television (Les enquêtes du commissaire Maigret (1967)).
