welfare state
welfare state A term that emerged in the 1940s to describe situations where the state has a major responsibility for welfare provision via social security systems, offering services and benefits to meet people's basic needs for housing, health, education, and income. More recently,
fiscal crises and the influence of
libertarianism and other
New Right ideas have led many Western democratic governments to make major retrenchments in welfare states (see C. Cousins ,
Controlling Social Welfare, 1987
).

Gorchakova's soprano soars on new recording; A born lieder singer Baritone Sanford Sylvan is a singer who is a polar opposite of Gorchakova. Though known for opera roles in "Nixon in China" and "Death of Klinghoffer," Sylvan is a born lieder singer. His nuance and attention to text serve him well in his new disc of songs by Gabriel Faure, "L'Horizon Chimerique," named for a Faure song cycle included on the disc. These are peaceful, contemplative meditations on themes of nature, love and death. Sylvan and pianist David Breitman combine to give them atmospheric, idiomatic performances. The Lydian String Quartet joins the pair for a flowing and captivating performance of "La Bonne Chanson," a cycle of Faure songs set to texts by Paul Verlaine. When you compare her with a singer such as the young Leontyne Price . . . Gorchakova lacks only Price's ability to scale back her sound to the tiniest pianissimo.
