The full live set video was premiered on the evening before the annual Piano Day worldwide celebrations (March 29th). The motivation to make the recording of the live performances which became the release ‘Live from Studio S2’ came from the invitation from the Berlinale Film Festival.
“I decided to rearrange some of my favourite songs, which I have been performing live for years. Recorded live and captured in the iconic Studio S2, one of the recording studios of Polish Radio in Warsaw. The hall is fully covered with light wood, which reminds me of other Radio Studios all around the world - like Funkhaus in Berlin for example. There is a kind of intimacy when playing the little piano in this huge and also very high venue.” — @haniaranimusic
“In the beginning of February 2021, I was asked to record a live set as a part of EFM sessions, which are the part of the Festival. I thought that bringing back my piano and equipment to the hall where I recorded my live session videos for my debut album 'Esja' would be a nice idea and the right cinematic choice. The iconic Studio S2 is one of the recording studios of Polish Radio in Warsaw. The hall is fully covered with light wood, which reminds me of other Radio Studios all around the world - like Funkhaus in Berlin. It felt very special to be in the hall where we recorded a video for "Glass", one of my most liked videoclips. There is a kind of intimacy when playing the little piano in this huge and also very high venue.”

I tell you what's awesome. To be a serious listener of music for most of my 65 years and to still be able to discover more great artists every day.

It's one of the things that make us grateful for YouTube and the whole invention of internet

What in the World did I just listen to? It is like a stream, a river, carrying you and liberating you from the rigidity of your own perception. It rebuilds your thoughts while you're thinking. It is like you are dissolving into yourself. I can't find the words...

She indeed is a poet. Her Songs are poems and So are her compositions. Very special.
-
how hard and honestly some people work on themselves, that even observing them is humbling
-
She plays the piano so desperately like the world will explode if she even stops to breathe for a second.. It's honestly mesmerizing!

I can't even remember how many times I've listened to this magnificent performance, and each time I've been able to draw on its magnificence. Dziękuję bardzo.

I'm late to the party, having only just stumbled across Hania for the first time today. I still have tears running down my face, and the video stopped 2 minutes ago. It's rare that I discover music as moving and emotional as this. I'm now going to fall down what I suspect is a very deep rabbit hole.... Beautiful beautiful stuff. Ten out of ten to the videographers who were able to get us all up close and personal without intruding on her personal space. That took genuine skill.

This is not a woman playing a piano, this is a soul united with the gift of music who has a piano as an extension of their being. She is one with the instrument and is guiding us through the journey of the storyline with her magic.

Hania Rani is one of those rare artists who has seemingly mastered the technique of restraint. She's always keeping you held on by a single thread, never giving anything away too early. Not many other artists with such a beautiful voice would wait 15 minutes to start singing– and yet, by taking her time to establish the instrumental world first, she allows just enough time for us to forget about the human voice, making it even more enchanting when she finally reminds us. She's truly a genius composer of modern classical.

She just blows me away....there is noone better than Hani currently...beautiful performance
-
I want this for my life's soundtrack 💜
-
There are piano players and there are virtuoso and then there's this. She's not playing the piano, she's being it. Makes you actually forget it's a piano. Just amazing.

It took 10 seconds of listening to start liking it. About 30 seconds to start loving it. This is first time I hear this young lady playing, and I’m very happy I did !
