Rikard From – Nu Tändas Tusen Juleljus

There’s a special kind of silence that only exists in winter. A silence filled with light, breath, and small moments that linger in the air. Swedish pianist Rikard From captures exactly that feeling with his gentle interpretation of “Nu Tändas Tusen Juleljus” — a Christmas song that has long been part of the Nordic soul.

From doesn’t try to impress with virtuosity or drama. Instead, he lets the melody unfold slowly, like candlelight spreading across a dark December evening. Every tone feels considered, honest, and deeply human — the kind of sound that turns a familiar tune into something intimate and new.

The piece was written more than a century ago, yet in From’s hands it feels timeless. His minimalist phrasing, the space between the notes, and the quiet warmth in his touch create a sense of calm that goes beyond Christmas. It’s a song for anyone who seeks peace when the world outside moves too fast.

“Nu Tändas Tusen Juleljus” reminds us what the season can truly mean — stillness, reflection, and light that never quite fades.
