Orchestre Raymonde

Conducted by G. Walter

The members of the Orchestre Raymonde, numbering some twenty-six players, are all British instrumentalists in spite of the name they have elected to play under. The conductor is G. Walter, a name said to conceal the identity of a young musician widely known for his clever and sparkling arrangements of many popular orchestral works. His idea is primarily to adapt his orchestrations to microphone technique, to which he has given serious study. He pays great attention to colour, and confesses that he has been influenced by the French school of light music, which is again indebted to Bizet. He even admits some slight debt to the technique displayed in Walt Disney's 'Silly Symphonies'. Listeners will not fail to remark upon the effectiveness of his work and they may easily be deceived into thinking that they are listening to a full symphony orchestra, so skilfully is the orchestration manoeuvred to that end. The players, too, are drawn from the first orchestras in this country, and no possible effect that can be made by an orchestra is likely to be let slip. Give them, for example, a Viennese waltz to play, and they will perform it as to the manner born.
