Hania Rani
I had a chat with pianist and composer Hania Rani, whose two beautiful albums so far on the Gondwana label - Esja and last year’s Home to me, feel like the perfect listening for these snowy days.
I love the atmosphere she’s able to conjure often with little more than piano and we got into a really nice conversation from Berlin to her home in Warsaw about, amongst other things, finding the things that give creative freedom, releasing sheet music, The Hobbit and pianos as objects.
