Aurora: Music of the Northern Lights – Göteborgs Symfoniker, Neeme Järvi (2 CD): version 1
Saved 2026-09-13 23:35 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added **Aurora: Music of the Northern Lights**, a Deutsche Grammophon double CD (471 747-2, released 2002-10-01) by the Göteborgs Symfoniker and Neeme Järvi, from the wanted queue (old title "jarvi neeme music of the northern ligh"). - **Identity:** confirmed three ways. MusicBrainz release 0f817e07 and Discogs release 8471457 both carry barcode 028947174721 with catalogue number 471 747-2, and Deutsche Grammophon's catalogue page lists UPC 00028947174721. - **Release and Tracks:** all 30 tracks with durations and composers from MusicBrainz. Credits come from Discogs and MusicBrainz, and recording months (May 1986 to June 2002) from MusicBrainz. The venue (Göteborg Konserthuset) is taken from the Discogs notes of the Swedish sibling edition and marked inferred. - **New stub:** family/aurora-music-of-the-northern-lights, with variants 471 747-2 and the Swedish-titled 474 128-2 (barcode 028947412823) from the Discogs master 1279766. The brand and company already existed (brand/deutsche-grammophon, company/deutsche-grammophon). - **Left blank on purpose:** country_of_sale is empty because Presto and CDandLP answered 403 and the Vinyl Tap listing is a used, sold-out copy that repeats Discogs. There is no gs1_prefix_owner because no source names the registrant, and no manufactured_by because no pressing plant is listed. The release country is disputed (MusicBrainz SE, Discogs Europe) and recorded in research_gaps. - **Images:** asked Cover Art Archive for a front cover via musicbrainz_images.. Current is v2.

| 155 | 161 | Aurora: Music of the Northern Lights is a double CD of Nordic orchestral music played by the Göteborgs Symfoniker under Neeme Järvi, released by Deutsche Grammophon on 1 October 2002 under catalogue number 471 747-2.[^dg][^mb] Its 30 tracks, about two hours and 37 minutes in all, run from Grieg's "Morning Mood" and Sibelius's Finlandia to Alfvén's Midsommarvaka, Rautavaara's Cantus Arcticus and Lumbye's Copenhagen Steam Railway Galop.[^mb] MusicBrainz dates the recordings from May 1986 to June 2002; most were first issued on earlier albums, and eight were recorded in June 2002 for this set.[^mb] Discogs files it with a Swedish-titled edition, Aurora: Nordiska Orkesterfavoriter (474 128-2), under one master release.[^discogs-master] | |
| 156 | 162 | ||
| 157 | 163 | Järvi was the orchestra's principal conductor from 1982 to 2004, a tenure that brought it a recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon.[^wiki-gso] The old Barcodepedia listed this barcode in 2007 as "JARVI NEEME - MUSIC OF THE NORTHERN LIGH".[^archive-2007] | |

## About <!--about-->
Aurora: Music of the Northern Lights is a double CD of Nordic orchestral music played by the Göteborgs Symfoniker under Neeme Järvi, released by Deutsche Grammophon on 1 October 2002 under catalogue number 471 747-2.[^dg][^mb] Its 30 tracks, about two hours and 37 minutes in all, run from Grieg's "Morning Mood" and Sibelius's Finlandia to Alfvén's Midsommarvaka, Rautavaara's Cantus Arcticus and Lumbye's Copenhagen Steam Railway Galop.[^mb] MusicBrainz dates the recordings from May 1986 to June 2002; most were first issued on earlier albums, and eight were recorded in June 2002 for this set.[^mb] Discogs files it with a Swedish-titled edition, Aurora: Nordiska Orkesterfavoriter (474 128-2), under one master release.[^discogs-master]
Järvi was the orchestra's principal conductor from 1982 to 2004, a tenure that brought it a recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon.[^wiki-gso] The old Barcodepedia listed this barcode in 2007 as "JARVI NEEME - MUSIC OF THE NORTHERN LIGH".[^archive-2007]
