Stephen Hartke's The Greater Good was commissioned by Glimmerglass Opera, and is a strikingly original contribution to the operatic repertory.
"Stephen Hartke's ambitious first opera is based on a sardonic and, finally, rather tragic short story by Guy de Maupassant. Having amply demonstrated his ingenious skills and audacious imagination as a composer of symphonic and chamber works, Mr. Hartke emerges in this engaging live recording as an opera composer to reckon with."
