AURORA performs with Bergen Philarmonic Orchestra - September 6th, 2020 | Reaction

[@SimenElmerJohansen]

Its so much to worry about in the world now - in many ways things are going better- but at the same time 😢it’s heartbreaking Your AURORA Tuesdays are like a calming space to share with others who have the same feelings and love for AURORA’s lyrics and music. Thanks a lot for your time and love Ashlena ❤

[@ashlenamusic]

This is so sweet thank you 🥹🥹🥹

[@henrivandecasteele6042]

Soulless creatures single handedly makes me want to be an artist because it just hits so close to home that it shatters my heart, mind and soul

[@ohTHATaaronbrown]

Aurora's one of very few performers who can literally bring me to tears. Absolutely agree that whoever wrote the symphonic arrangement was brilliant here. The orchestra was flat-out perfect.

[@ashlenamusic]

Right??? So beautiful

[@pinguinaarts]

Lets just say..... we love Aurora❤

[@ashlenamusic]

Same xx

[@warowords]

In my opinion this is Auroras greatest performance, that I've seen. I was seriously obsessed with this performance for a long time. I wish she would do something like this again in 2024 because her voice has matured so greatly and she's now is even better somehow. Incredible.

[@ashlenamusic]

I agree I think all of the fans would love that

[@paulkossak7761]

Her rendition of "soulless creatures" during this concert has so much depth and gravity that it seems almost operatic in nature. Just astounding.

[@ashlenamusic]

So true!

[@occhiolismo]

big big suggestion is “When the dark dresses lightly” live at Roskilde Festival PLEAAAASE 😭

[@Holgerdansk]

Yes please... never forget it❤

[@sapphosmuse1243]

I always say that Aurora is like a beautiful child. The way she performs things reminds me of how children are when they perform… just free almost like she doesn’t even know how phenomenal she is- to her she’s just singing a song for us but we see the beauty and genius in it.

[@ohTHATaaronbrown]

What a great way to describe how Aurora performs!

[@ashlenamusic]

Love this description 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@jamierobson8825]

Wow. Aurora’s voice was made for an orchestra. That was absolutely beautiful. ❤

[@ashlenamusic]

Agreed!

[@MusicandCatLover-vc6jb]

No one better than Aurora fits with her songs and voice for orchestral versions.

[@ashlenamusic]

Agreed and maybe Raye 🤣🔥

[@warriorsandweirdos74]

I would die if I ever hear soulless creatures live, what a phenomenal song, and the seed ( speechless) that was Aurora feat. Beethoven or something this is really not normal anymore, the level our Aurora reaches

[@timgrodesky4694]

So glad you got to hear this gem of a performance. She was a bright light during the dark uncertain days of covid and I can't thank her enough for what she did for not only me but for countless others. Her podcasts from her home during lockdown are just the best and worth a look.!!

[@Holgerdansk]

There was a reason why so many people voted for this. I see you've figured out why. We have all already forgotten or suppressed Covid... but there were also positive things back then... that's the proof.❤😊

[@ashlenamusic]

Totally!!

[@Accolonian]

I was at this concert... Meaning I bought a ticket to watch it online live when it premiered. You can say a lot about Covid, but it did bring some special musical moments with it also.

[@ashlenamusic]

I wish I knew of her then

[@snerkjen]

My absolute favorite from this concert is the River! She slowed it down so much it’s just incredible!

[@ashlenamusic]

It’s phenomenal

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

I saw that " live"... and I was blown away. During lockdown we all needed this sooooooo much... I can not believe, that I will see her in a couple of weeks 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@ashlenamusic]

I wish I knew her back then! Omg frank have the best time!!! Xx

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

@@ashlenamusic thank you

[@markryder8488]

Just watched this. Wow. The strangest thing about this whole performance is you could put this in any decade in the last 70 years from the 50's onward and it would not feel out of place. She is in her own niche, that does not comply with anything else now or before her. Her voice, lyrics, expressive performances and the emotions she puts in to her songs are like no one else past or present. There is something else about her i can not explain, but she just connects with her audience like no other. 💗

[@ashlenamusic]

So true!

[@CarlD70]

Thank you Ash....have not seen this in a very long time and now remember just how absolutely stunning this is with the Bergen Orchestra....always thought Nidarosdomen was the most Epic concerts and performance I had ever witnessed, still at the top of the list but, this right here is a damn close second. Singing with this fabulous Orchestra near her hometown is simply incredible...Thanks for bringing this one back and reminding me just how beautiful this concert is with Aurora. Cheers. Have to go wipe my eyes.

[@ashlenamusic]

Definitely a close second. I am also obsessed with that show she did in the forest 🥹

[@CarlD70]

@ashlenamusic oh yes...almost forgot the forest concert

[@ashlenamusic]

It’s so good especially because she didn’t even know it was happening

[@devynbarat7777]

I often listen to this whole performance during panic attacks. Her speaking voice, her singing voice, and the strings are so soothing!

[@ashlenamusic]

Everything about this is so chill but also so inspiring

[@Tarkus_]

Beautiful performance! It's just a shame that there was no audience, because you want to hear a loud ovation at the end of each song, and certainly they all deserved one. The highlight for me is Soulless Creatures. I think it's just stunning, and ranks up there with her other top performances of all-time. Of course, it's made even more special by the fact that it's such a rare performance of that song.

[@ashlenamusic]

I kinda like that it’s quiet without a crowd. But yes the vibe would’ve been so different with applause

[@panchiolarranaga1616]

I was focusing so much on What Happened to the Heart that I forgot about this Masterpiece....Aurora is such a special wise and beautiful young woman so inspiring OMG txs for bringing all this back Holy holy she is so incredibly good.......

[@ashlenamusic]

Of course!! Love going back to the oldies

[@kevdenn]

This is great. I totally agree with you that a stage production featuring Aurora's life in music would be fantastic. I'm really looking forward to the coming years to see how Aurora expands her artistry in whatever direction she chooses. Thanks for this great reaction Ashlena.

[@ashlenamusic]

Xx

[@Retro_Painter]

Every time I hear an orchestra overture and accompaniment to one of Aurora’s songs it just reminds me of what a great composer she really is. I think that she has a Bach- like ear for melody and I can easily imagine full symphonic versions of most of her songs. I can only think that her love of re-composing classical music for herself as a child (because she wanted to make it “better”- with more silence between the notes) gave her a natural inclination to more write complex music than might be typical for someone so young. That being said, I really don’t think that you can separate her voice and her performance from a true appreciation of her music which is why we love her live concerts so much! Once again, thank you for reacting to this entire concert, Ashlena- it’s always such a pleasure “watching” with you.

[@ashlenamusic]

Aww thanks so much 🥹🥹

[@celinel9750]

I probably have 500 of the view to that concert and 1000 of Nidarosdormen, I can't put one first, the vib is totaly different but both are for me the best thing I ever heard in my life. It's was a pleasur to watch it with you and I totaly agree, if she ever do a symphoc show again I'll pay what ever it takes to be their.

[@ashlenamusic]

Totally agree i would love to see her sing with an orchestra in person 🥰🥰

[@celinel9750]

@@ashlenamusic OK find the ticket I'll pay :-D

[@ashlenamusic]

Hahaha she needs to do the show first

[@johnytwo]

I recommend listening to the Soulless Creatures to the sound of approaching storm... And she was so kind to cut the electricity only just after the song finished. :) Anyway. The ending of this version of the song is so similar to the ending of Bjork's song Scatterheart from the movie The Dancer in the Dark. Very similar strings.

[@lynnef1988]

I always feel this performance is super underrated! I love it, chills from the start

[@ashlenamusic]

Totally agree! Shocked it took me this long to watch it

[@maxsteiner1964]

This was in the height of the Covid lockdown in Norway and I was so frustrated by being isolated. I was so caught up being frustrated and angry that when seeing this on the telly I was just annoyed and I didn't like at all. I was all; I want action. I want tempo. I want life. Watching this again with you Ash, is such a wonderful realization of my error. I love you. Love from Norway.

[@ashlenamusic]

Aww I’m sure you were not the only one who felt that way. I was lucky I just had a baby during Covid. So it was the most strange time of my life but also the most beautiful.

[@Rackelhane]

This is great. Aurora is great...the orchestra is gret every descision they make is great and makes the whole experience full in every way. Great reaction...Tomorow or later today i`m gonna jump into my campervan and drive from Sweden to Kristiansand Norway to se this young amazing artist sing there at the festival. 10 hours drive...and it`s totally worth it. It`s going to be a blast. Thank you for this lovley reactionvideo. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.

[@Holgerdansk]

Øv.... det vidste jeg ikke... heldig banane 😊 go tour og hilse 😅

[@TiSa1985]

The first song always makes me cry

[@walterF205]

Ah, more than beautiful! Nidarosdomen vibes! I have a fantasy, a desire: a tour of Aurora in the largest cities, where she sings accompanied by the city's resident symphony orchestra. What other majestic way to spread her art, besides the classic (LOL) usual way?

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

I can imagine her in our sensational ELBPHILHARMONIE in Hamburg. I would pay a fortune for it!

[@ashlenamusic]

Oh wow!

[@Einyen]

This is the only "real" live performance of Soulless Creatures. except once solo at the piano on one of her private 2021 covid live streams. She has not even performed it at any of her normal concerts, that I know of, and not according to setlist. This was one of the paid streams, also titled "Aurora goes symphonic", during covid lockdown to support the orchestra and Aurora, it was streamed on Sep 6th 2020 and available for 72 hours, but recorded in early June 2020.

[@ashlenamusic]

It is absolutely stunning

[@tx0h]

the live stream is underrated.

[@piscean5376]

Hi Ashlena, great reaction once again, Aurora performed fantasticly especially standing solo without her band . Please remember to react to SAY IT OR SNAIL IT | DEEZER 😊 THANKS for your Aurora Tuesdays ❤.

[@ashlenamusic]

What is that?? 🤣

[@Retro_Painter]

@@ashlenamusic Say it or Snail It is an 8-minute Q&A with Aurora being asked some often cheeky questions (with equally cheeky answers) unless he doesn’t want to answer- in which case she must eat a snail (escargot in garlic, seemingly). It is quite entertaining!

[@juggletom]

This was beautyfull , thank you! I see a movie in my head at most of her songs I`m listening to. You are so right, ther should be at least a movie about some of her songs.

[@ashlenamusic]

Right?!

[@tx0h]

thank you so much for this 50 minutes epic reaction and not skipping soulless creatures. i'm still waiting for an aurora opera (or musical). btw.: there is this 'live with aurora: music for the fellow witches' live version of 'soulless creatures' on her channel, not even 30 minutes long. the most authentic version. maybe you will never react to it, but you need to watch it (the whole series is such a source of inspiration and insight into her motivations, even if the sound quality is shite as hell. she made. the series is an introduction to five themed playlists of her songs). can't wait for next tuesday (butterflies is a very, very short song (with good reasons)).

[@Roy-mw5js]

Love Aurora ❤

[@Oldperson-wt3ui]

What an awesome reaction, as you said, "this performance is everything". The joy on your face, you are just as expressive as Aurora and that is a great thing. Thanks so much 😍🥰

[@ashlenamusic]

Thanks for watching. Xx

[@johndennison3140]

I remember waiting patiently for this concert to be streamed back in lockdown and just like then today my tears flowed like a river.I’ve had the privilege of seeing her live on 3 occasions and later in the year I will be at the royal Albert Hall to see her again my wish is that there’s an orchestra their as most of the artists that perform there have an orchestra to accompany them.my fingers are crossed 🤞

[@ashlenamusic]

That would be amazing!!

[@nerve60]

Absolutely love this version of Soulless Creatures! Awesome! Thanks Ashlena! This is pure Artistry!

[@ashlenamusic]

You are so welcome!

[@Kimberlyannkent]

I discovered Aurora during this same time and like you only seen one or two songs from it and have no idea why. This was so beautiful! Thank you for doing this - it is exactly what I needed right now. 💕

[@ashlenamusic]

Glad you enjoyed it! Xx

[@mrmb380]

This is such an amazing concert, it's been awhile since I last watched the video I forgot how amazing this concert is. It happen quietly in this concert feels like an ending song of a tragic period piece romance movie. I know that aurora is doing more stuff on the side of heavy metal and edm, but I hope she doesn't fully leave the string orchestra days behind her.

[@Toxicdemon2]

Same here. I'd LOVE to see her perform with a orchesta like this. And this performance of "The River" is just fenominal. When she says "you can cry"... I Actually do 😢 And the emotion she puts into "It happened quiet" 😱❤❤ This performance was at the Grieghallen in Bergen. I've been there, but it was to watch JoKoy 😂. Also a great show, but I wish it had been Aurora tho 🥰

[@sapphosmuse1243]

But maybe the beauty is in the freedom and she’s just reached that level of enlightenment.

[@satchmo4992]

Amazing concert! Aurora and the orchestra are stunning! Kudos to you, Ashlena, for bringing it to us! 🙏👍🏻 Wonderful reaction! Thank you!

Ashlena, I am glad you have finally seen this awesome performance from our magical Aurora. She is always at her best with an orchestra. Just remember there was not much practise. She just did this live. How amazing is that. 🧡🧡 Her dramatic presentation of It Happened Quiet is my favourite part.

[@ashlenamusic]

So good!

[@ashlenamusic]

For someone who grew up listening and watching Disney music it’s a compliment from me. That’s how I fell in love with orchestral music so I don’t mean it to be a negative thing. Obviously they didn’t invent the sound. It just gives me great memories

[@Geralt26]

Yea. Aurora with orchestra is always amazing (without orchestra also, but with orchestra it is something special even more). I am in work and probably will watch it in two parts as I will have longer meeting (i am around 1/3 now probably :) ) . Thx for reaction and have a nice day!
