There are many comments about how underrated Aurora is. But that is not true, she has millions of followers on KZfaq and she is huge outside USA. But she is not really going for the charts, she is just spreading her music to an audience that is prepared to enjoy and listen to her messages and vocal artistry.

Not many arists are allowd to performe in Nidaros Cathedral ... that's how big she is in Norway. A national treasure!!

I think that this is a candidate for the most perfect concert ever staged. A brilliant blend of Aurora's songs and well chosen covers (particularly "Walking In The Air" which sounds as if it was written by Aurora), the stunning venue, the immaculate production values, the superb supporting musicians and choir and the matchless charisma of Aurora's performance skills and personality. Copies of this should be placed in archives the world over to be viewed by future generations so that people can always be reminded of the power of music.

This is undoubtedly The greatest piece of music ever created...forget all the mainstream crap, over produced, mixed, auto tuned nonsense we get bombarded with....this is real music, the way it should be. Honestly, who cares anymore about the "popular" crap out there....I certainly do not. Two of the greatest female artists...well any artist for that matter are from Norway...Angelina Jordan and Aurora!!!!!! We have to go to YT to hear these spectacular artists....music industry currently is not even worth our ears anymore....sad but true. Thank you to this beautiful young lady for being who she is. What a monumental production from all involved...simply mesmerizing. Sitting here balling my eyes out watching this girl...simply unreal.

Like a lot of the commenters below, I cry too sometimes during her performances. As a little girl in Norway she spent a lot of time alone in the forest with the animals day and night and has always been special. She’s a fairy, angel, and a unique being. She dedicated her song “Heathens” at Rough Trade East, London, to “ . . . the Mother who takes care of the people who aren’t welcome in heaven.” Like me.

The song "Little Boy In The Grass" is very poignant since it's about the ghosts of the victims of the Utøya massacre that occurred in Norway on 22 of July 2011. Aurora was 15 at the time and had a friend among the 69 victims of that awful, awful day...

Aurora is the very embodiment of a concept that doesn't really exist in popular music in this day in age. She is not just a songwriter, not just a singer or a musician. She is an artist. And I mean that in every sense of the word. She never dreamt of being famous, or topping charts, or making millions of dollars, when she was a child. She discovered music at a young age and felt it in her heart and soul. She grew to understand what creating music did to her on a personal level, but never thought 'hey, I could probably sell this!' When she was approached by her management company, she rejected them, saying that she had no ambition to be a singer. But it was her mother who explained that she had been given a beautiful gift, and it would be selfish not to share it. I believe that great music is no less an art form than great poetry, or sculpture, or painting. I believe Aurora sees music in the same way, and this vision remains her primary motivation, making her, by far, the most authentic, credible artist I have come across in decades!

if time travelling becomes possible in my lifetime this is where i will go

Easily the best concert performance I’ve ever seen. It is women like this who change the world through class, intelligence, influence and humility. These are the idols our children need. Not “artists” that seek fame and money by peddling seduction and lifestyle. Aurora has more power in a single glance than any of those others have combined. I might be overstating… but I don’t think so. Please consider the performance of one of Dimash’s idols, Lara Fabian -Je Suis Malade from the performance “From Lara with love” a masterclass in story telling. Thanks again for sharing.

Nature Boy .. Nat King Cole, but a lovely companion to the heartbreaking “Boy in the Grass,” about her love, 17 to her 15, who passed with the other 66 children in the Utoya Massacre. You have to think it was those families in her thoughts as she spoke of sadness at Christmas. They call it 22 Juli there - Norway’s 9/11, to put it in context in terms of the broken heart of the country. Two attacks, 77 gone in a moment, hundreds injured. So much heartbreak. And 67!! were children. It’s devastating and I think important to understand her, maybe. Where *some* of the ache in her comes from, perhaps. It makes me cry every time I hear that song. And now they are stars. (Under Stars)..

Wikipedia : Nidaros Cathedral (Norwegian: Nidarosdomen / Nidaros Domkirke) is a cathedral of the Church of Norway located in the city of Trondheim in Trøndelag county. It is built over the burial site of King Olav II (c. 995-1030, reigned 1015-1028), who became the patron saint of the nation, and is the traditional location for the consecration of new kings of Norway... PERFECT for the kind of music she makes.

When she started “ through the eyes of a child” and you said oh no😂

I forgot her David Bowie cover was in this! She’s done a few other covers as well, Teardrop by massive attack (which i will still alway remember from House M.D) and very recently she did a cover of Rasputin by Boney M!

This concert is a Masterpiece a true jewel, never tires me and I have listened this concert so many times since 2017I lost the count already

Aurora is a Norwegian artist, an organically honed singer, a songwriter and a producer who possesses an angelic ethereal voice which breathes forth from the depths of that which is truly most important to us as humans and this earth. When you see her, when you listen to her, you are struck, struck with a realization that before you is a uniquely authentic human being, a beautiful …

"Walking in the air" is a cover composed by Howard Blake in the animated short "the snowman"

You picked one of her best live performances, warriors and weirdos and everyone loves your reactions to her.

Aurora was quite young in this concert. You can hear, from time to time, that she has yet to reach the level of control that she now has. One such thing is that Aurora could go a bit nasal in parts of her vocalization but as the true professional she is, she overcame that. My admiration for this performer/artist/poet is ever on the rise. Wonderful. Just wonderful.

One of the best live performaces I ever heard. Saw her live once at a Leonard Cohen memorial concert in Oslo, a treasure!

Every time you come across a song you haven’t heard yet I get a twinge of jealousy. That feeling you get hearing a song for the first time. Next Aurora gig you go for has to be the Live At KEXP. A very different show to this. Full of energy and dance and laughter, joy but the emotion we all except from Aurora.

The song Under stars : “It’s about us. About the people we’ve lost through time, and how we handle that loss. The guilt of still being alive when they are not, and the hope that they might only be sleeping, maybe still dreaming, under the stars. ” - AURORA

Walking in the air is in a movie called The Snowman. It’s a musical telling of a boy who wakes up to snow, and he makes a a Snowman. I love it. This might be the only music with words in the whole movie.

I would really like to see behind the scenes for this incredible concert!

react to ''AURORA Interview: carrots, pit-nicking, castles, bats & Runaway'' plss

I fall asleep to this concert every night. Auroras sweet ethereal voice always calms me and I'm asleep by song 3 or 4. Promise to stay awake for your reactions though..😂

Aurora its the purest human being

So glad you saw this whole concert. This concert was my very first introduction to Aurora. I’d never heard of her when I stumbled upon this video on KZfaq a year or so ago. I literally felt like I was holding my breath the whole time I watched it. All the while wondering “just who is this girl?” As much as I’ve learned about her since then, I’ve concluded that she’s an extremely poetic old soul with endless stories to convey through music of many lifetimes lived and remembered. She is a teacher and a gift to those of us lucky enough to hear the stories she sings. Perhaps the most important thing to know is that she is also a very normal human being like the rest of us. Simply striving to persevere, learn and grow through the experiences and observations of life. One difference being that she has the desire and artistic ability to express it all in so many powerful and beautiful ways through music. Also, if you listen to her interviews, you’ll find that she has an incredible and very clever sense of humor. Lofty and creative in thought and quite grounded in her being.

I'm so happy for you Larry. Aurora found you and now you are one of us. Love from Norway.

Walking in the air - exchange the Dragon for a Snowman -- This is a cover of a song from a short animation by Raymond Briggs titled The Snowman - A boy makes a Snowman which comes alive !!! you can guess the rest

Nature Boy was first performed by Nat King Cole 1948

Fun fact: the Steinmeyer organ has 10.000 pipes an weigh inn at 40.000 kg. It was buildt in 1930, and a restoration was done in 2014.

She once said that when she's gone she wants to be remembered as a genius.... this concert is all anyone would need to see to know that she is already one.

Hi Larry, looking forward to watching the remainder of this masterpiece later today - work is getting in the way! Thanks for showing the intro with subtitles. Many reactors show the performances but without the intro, their's and your audience isn't aware of WHY Aurora performed the songs she did, in the order she did. Once again, she's attempting to help people HEAL from whatever they may be going through. She is SUCH a genius empath and we are so lucky to have her. Thank you for reacting to the entire concert.

I visited Nidarosdomen once, and was lucky to find the organist having a practice session. The cathedral is absolutely majestic, and, to me, a prime example of “less is more”. No singing, alas, but the music soared! Diana is well worth a reaction, she has a fantastic voice, and is very much a performer. Looking forward to seeing what you think 🎶

Through the Eyes of a Child, particularly this version and the "stripped" version (Vevo UK Lift), stirs up my waterworks, too. I have two little girls, and I think about them during this song. Every. Time.

It’s a stunning concert isn’t it. Will be watching this concert again at Christmas. The songs Nature Boy and Walking in The Air (and Life on Mars) are covers.

Love your Aurora reactions. She is a true and pure artist. Much of the mainstream pop music of singers her age is just nonsense compared to the music produced by her. A true performer and a beautiful, hauntingly beautiful voice.

I love every moment of this concert. Angelic and powerful.

This is a Masterpiece....She is Gaia.

Thank you for your emotional reacting and enthusiasm. What a incredible concert. It is a kind of a fairytale told through music. It gives me positive vibes and let me dive into a magical world. I hope she can keep this childlike innocence for a long time. The world isn’t that nice at all but with people like her it can become a little better for everyone. Greetings from Germany ❤️

Hi Larry, thanks for your reaction. I think both concerts (HAIK and now Nidarosdomen) are MASTERPIECES. Her song choice for both of them was great. Her angelic voice in a cathedral - wow. I love it. You can't hear anything form the audience if she sings. This is a great respect to an artist. Nobody want to miss a singel tone. It's not often. And her smile - sometimes like she is thinking "I catch all of them" and sometimes it seems that she is only happy, because she is in the music - in her music. Thank you Larry an greatings from Germany.

Her voice has so much skill and beauty. I can't help but be reminded of other great N.W. Europe female singers such as Elizabeth Fraser, Dolores O'Riordan, and Bjork.

Hi Larry, so you decided to do this video after all. I am very glad you did. To experience this vibe throughout this whole performance with orchestra and choir, makes it so very special. Each time again she grabs me and takes me on this aural odyssey. Loved your reaction!

I have seen this consert again and again.... And I watched every minute with you... She is fantastic.... She said in an video: the pitch is not the first priority, the FEEL are more important... Like in these "crying parts" or "yelling" she might "go off pich" to get the correct feel... But i fit's "the story"....

Lol🤣 YUP, here I am buddy. Thanks for the "shoutout". I've just finished reliving this concert with you, and I have to say I enjoyed it thoroughly. This concert is really something very special to behold. How we would have loved to be in that audience, right ? If she will ever do something like this again here in Norway , I'll be sure to order one extra ticket😉 You need to visit Norway at some stage (pun intended) anyway. Or, if you want to bring your wife and kids along, I'll order a few more. Now I am very curious to see what you think of Diana Ankudinova. For me, she is one of those up and coming new artists that have an incredible and undeniable talent, somewhat like Dimash although very different at the same time, but still doesn't quite click with me. But my jaw drops to the floor every time I hear her, so I'm looking forward to your reaction(s). Prepare yourself for a polyfonic voice and more. Take care my friend and stay safe. ♥from The Land Of The Vikings.

Wow full magical concert. I will join later today. Just going to work and can not watch 1h right now. But thx for a reaction :).

Concerts don’t get much better than this!:-) great reaction!:-)

Angelic and beatific - pure bliss! I adore everything Aurora!! She is simply and utterly divine. ☮❤️ Sea Point, Cape Town, South Africa

Little Boy in the grass The song is for the bereaved families of the massacre in Norway a few years ago in which 78 people were killed. Among them a friend of Aurora and many children. Your video was very nice again. It's always great.

I really felt how soft the universe is on her vocals.

I just love this whole consert. 🤗🎶🎶

just a reminder that nature boy (the first song) is a cover, the original is by nat king cole

I first watched this concert back in February 2020.... It was literally my first ever introduction to Aurora. Never heard of her before that night. And yeah......it genuinely objectively changed my life. Easily in the top 3 concerts of I've witnessed, in person or on video. I've seen it maybe 20 times since. It's THAT good.

did not wake up this morning at 6:30 just to be in tears again . But I'm so happy to be able to watch this concert with you Larry I so much enjoy this concert. Aurora is like I have always said that she is a beautiful angle sent from heaven and I so much no matter how many times I watch her Aurora is so awesome in her own way. what a beautiful spirit she has. I really enjoy watching your reaction on all her videos and concerts. you are so on spot on every thing Aurora does . she has pretty much saved my soul with her music. keep up the good work my man you are awesome. now I'm going to finish watching the concert with and you have a great day my friend.

This is where I first stumbled upon Aurora by accident. I've been in awe since. Thanks for sharing your reaction. If you get the chance, you might appreciate this doc from earlier in Aurora's career. It's called "Once, Aurora" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fqx-g5ir18-qo6s.html Here's how the producers describe the film: "Aurora is a pop music sensation from a small town in Western Norway. She was discovered at the age of 16, dropped out of school, and spent the next years touring the world with her first album. At the age of 20 she is at a breaking point. Is this really what she wants, and if not, does she have any other option but to continue?"

Walking in the air is from the snowman animation

25:50 Her personal backstory with this song is, I assume, probably similar to my own... The Snowman, which this song comes from, was aired every year around Christmas all throughout European countries. I'm an American, but I grew up for several years in France as a kid. And this song...is DEEEEP in my subconscious. I bet it was for Aurora as well. I can tell through her performance how much the song meant/means to her. Me too....

I was dreading watching this with you even though iv'e watched it many times and was surprised that you were pausing very sparingly , Thank you for that , a great reaction.

No one else has an instrument quite like Aurora.

Funny you mentioned that Walking In The Air could be from a movie, because it actually is. It's from the classic christmas movie The Snowman. It is British, so maybe it isnt known in the states that much?

As others already pointed out, Walking in the air is a cover and really is film music (The Snowman). But as you mentioned the How to train your dragon movies, I have to say I absolutely love John Powell’s soundtrack from those.

Would you also react to the two short documentaries "Into the light" (2015) and "Nothing is eternal" (2016) about her? These documentaries are about 5 minutes long and 10 minutes long respectively. "Into the light": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aaeSpaeIrt2mf2g.html "Nothing is eternal": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atyUddKjsJybpJ8.html

I'm so grateful to see this together with you and all the others who love Aurora. Simply a fantastic concert.

All is soft Inside - Aurora - KEXP please

PLEEASE react AURORA Lollapalooza Live 2018

you are such a sensible men. you've captivated me since the first video. it's beautiful to watch your reactions just to see how you let your emotions guide you, and you are never afraid to show vulnerability. please, never change that.

I just love her, true musical genius.

I honestly kinda love that you didn't seem to realize Nature Boy and Walking in the Air were covers. Partly because they both sound like they could _easily_ be Aurora originals....and she just totally makes them her own. Also....Life On Mars, which I assume you'll get is a cover right away, STILL sounds like an Aurora original somehow. I always loved that song....but damn, I think her version might be THE definitive version for me now.

1:04:20 or so....you really hit on it. Yes, her music is SO cathartic and emotionally resonant and creative and cool...that it's overwhelming. But....it's also interesting to notice...she's REALLY good. Like, technically, in terms of musical proficiency....she's ridiculous. People can't just sing like that...emote like that...bring their body, face, mind, voice....into PERFECT synchronization like that. It's so tight...but also super loose in a way. It's creative and well crafted. Basically this concert always reminds me of why Aurora is so special...but also reminds me that *music* itself...is hands down the best thing humans ever invented. It's the greatest thing we've ever created....the single best idea we ever hit on. Without it, life could exist, could go on...but why? What would be the point really?

The whole gig is absolutely wonderful, a lot of hard work has gone into making this such a special concert, Aurora is just doing what she does best, and her audience are spellbound. Magical 😄😄😄😄😄

The humility you need to end your own concert on someone else's song. She really doesn't care about fame. She just wants to sing, dance, cry and laugh. And she wants us to enjoy it with her. What a human. I really liked your reaction! Felt like I was enjoying this with you

I love your reaction to this. This concert is the most magical thing i have ever seen. If you're interested in seeing another, more uplifting kind of her performance check out her KEXP concert! (In fact there are two on KZfaq. Her performance in the one with 5.5m views is insane! And the second ends with a very nice interview with her)

I am always thinking of the word remembrance in connection with this consert. Maybe an old fashioned word, but the only one suitable for me. It's all about loss and recognition, but also comforting 🕊

That was wonderful, I loved every minute.

I love your reactions to this wee star! I didn't appreciate her the first time I saw someone react. I thought she was too airy faerie. Then I decided to look her up. Much respect to her lyrics and musicality. She's exceptional. No ego.

Lol Through the eyes of a Child gets me every time...I don't know how many times I've watched it but it still gets me....so I'm with you there

I loved sharing the emotions of this concert with you, such a lovely person

Amazing

I am insanely jealous of all who were lucky enough to be there, in that Cathedral, listening to that masterpiece. Her adaptations to the acoustics were just spot on! All in all, a stunning performance.

I love u❤ very nice reaction!

Thank you for yet another very thorough and inspiring response.

Very nice reaction to possibly Aurora best concert ever! The Nidarosdomen cathedral is just a magical place. If you react to another concert of hers I’d suggest doing the KEXP one, it’s pretty short and you already reacted to one song there, Churchyard.

She's such a sweetheart, with so much talent

Aurora is Love! she sounds so Angelic and pure

This was awesome and a concert I hadn’t watched all the way through before. Really loved Soft Universe. Thanks for taking the time to watch this for us. I really enjoyed watching with you. Can’t wait for the KEXP concert. Hope you are doing well and I’ll see you on the next vid.

I'm so glad you paused there during Little boy in the grass, i was about to burst out into tears. Still ended up tearing up during the croshendo though :P This is definitely the more hopeful of the two presentations out here on KZfaq of the two :) I'm sure you have read from other comments what the song is about. I love that during Soft Universe, sometimes when the camera pans over the choir they are just grinning from ear to ear. Aurora just radiates such energy and emotion :D Thanks for another great video. Auora was supposed to have another concert at Nidarosdomen this year, outside this time in August. I had tickets and everything, sadly it got cancelled due to covid restrictions.

Another great one. Enjoyed your reaction. 😊👍

I love your reactions! And you're so relaxing!!!

I am re-visiting this beautiful concert of Aurora through your reaction.It never fails to grip my heart with different layers of emotions...Everything is so perfect under the dome of the historic cathedral....God bless..

If all the planet's out there had a representative then Aurora shud defenetely be the one to represent mother earth! ❤❤❤ or if aliens visit earth then she shud be the face of mother earth! 😊😊

I can't HELP but comment 12 minutes and 2 seconds into this......I can't believe you're reacting to this!!! I've already got goose bumps thrice thus far. Aurora is SUCH The Performer "and" StoryTeller........ I so can't wait to see your reaction to 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Murder Song, especially the ending on this one.......ok.....back to it.....

Yayy! The full concert reaction :D love it!! I think you would also REALLY enjoy her live performance in Bergen (2020), she does the most beautiful renditions of Exist for Love, The River, Lucky, and more. Sending love and good vibes your way, Larry :)

My beloved partner had gone to bed early, so I had a great evening watching this concert with you!!! 😄

Dude, Larry, the look on your face when "Through The Eyes of a Child" started.......here we go.....

Not sure if it has been mentioned but she recorded her role as the Voice of the North Wind for Frozen 2 movie in a cathedral. Ahh ahhh ahh ahhh.

The World of Aurora, was an amazing christmas concert in Trondheim Norway.

Nature Boy -- A cover of Nat King Cole's song

Aww what did you remember ? Great reaction. I hope you can do Helvegen too. Love when she sings that with Wardruna. Hei from Bergen, Norway !

Aurora is a angelic angel

Yes and yes. Just to finish with aurora I will recommend AURORA - Nothing is Eternal (A Documentary), it's only 11 minutes long. After this you are free of the warriors and weirdos rsrsrsrsrs
