Details:
The Profound Effect of One is composer H.E. Pietschâs first orchestral CD release. The Profound Effect Of One is a three movement work for string orchestra and string quartet. Featuring the Mulholland string Quartet and conducted by the composer, the piece was recorded in June of 2005 at Todd AO Studios in Studio City, CA.

Also on the CD, is the tone poem Reflets dans la Sainte Chapelle for string orchestra, vibraphone and suspended cymbals. Pietsch wrote this piece after visiting the chapel in Paris. Sainte Chapelle contains more stained glass than any other building in the world. The images created when the sun moves across the windows, intermittently shaded and blocked by clouds, is truly a spiritual experience.

The two piano/four hand version of The Profound Effect of One also appears on this CD, performed by world renowned pianists Bryan Pezzone and Brent McMunn. The pieces were performed on two Yamaha DCFIIIS nine foot Disklavier Pianos and recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood.
The orchestral music on the CD was mixed by legendary producer/mixer Bruce Botnick (The Doors, Jerry Goldsmith). More information on H.E. Pietsch can be found at www.hepietsch.com.
