Hania Rani has built a reputation as a composer and pianist able to move with ease between classical tradition and experimental innovation. Non Fiction, her first piano concerto, was recorded at Abbey Road Studios and takes as its focus the realities of war in Ukraine and Gaza, exploring how these events are mediated, observed, and heard in the modern world.
Drawing on her deep classical grounding and her admiration for more exploratory approaches, Rani sets precisely scored passages against shifting momentum and layered textures. The result is a concerto of striking contrasts and emotional weight – a powerful, contemporary work that examines conflict while pushing at the boundaries of form.
