Visor från vinden
2007 studio album by Sofia Karlsson
Visor från vinden (Songs from the loft) is the Swedish singer Sofia Karlsson's third studio album as a solo artist. The album was released on 11 April 2007 by Bonnier Amigo Music Group.
The album is a collection of songs written by poets and musicians from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, including the Swedish Dan Andersson, Marianne Flodin, Mikael Wiehe, Alf Hambe, Carl Michael Bellman, Peps Persson, and Evert Taube. The album contains two poems from Charles Baudelaire, and a version of Boris Vian's antiwar song "Le Déserteur", all three originally French. Two of the songs are translations of Norwegian folk songs.
Visor från vinden was recorded at six different times in different places in Sweden and Denmark. The producers were Göran Petersson, Sofia Karlsson and Jan Borges, and among the participating musicians were Esbjörn Hazelius, Roger Tallroth and Lena Willemark.
The album had a mixed to positive reception, with reviewers commenting on the quality of the performances of traditional songs, interpreted plainly but personally. Visor från vinden reached second place on the Swedish album chart, Karlsson's highest placement. In 2008, she received a Swedish Grammis, a Danish Music Award in the category "Best Foreign Album", and the Manifestgalan Prize in the folk music category.

Why this record matters
“Visor från vinden” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Visor, från and vinden provides the most credible route into that argument.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 21, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q10716159. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2007 and 2008.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
