Description
On Profile this week - it’s a personal one.
In lockdown at home because of the coronavirus, presenter Mark Coles has turned to music to help get him through the past few days…captivated by an album he bought by chance in a London record store a couple of weeks ago.
It’s called‘Esja’- the debut album from a little-known 29 year old Polish pianist, Hania Rani.
The music is sublime and minimalist…solo acoustic piano inspired in part by the mountains and countryside of Iceland where some of it was recorded.
For Mark, it’s become his sanctuary….his headspace - a much needed nightly respite from the cacophony of coronavirus news bulletins and press conferences.
But who is the mystery woman behind the music?
Producer: Smita Patel
