Perhaps thus the end

"De syv satser i strygekvartetten (som har givet navn til albummet) er opkaldt efter linjer fra Samuel Becketts sene prosaværk Stirrings Still. Lange toner og galopperende motiver skifter gnidningsfrit mellem ensemblets medlemmer og skaber en klang, så gruppen synes fordoblet i størrelse. Tonesproget er til tider mekanisk, men aldrig automatisk ... På den overraskende vanedannende 'Still Leaning Towards this Machine' ... forstærkes ensemblet af elektronik gennem en subtil, hakkende resonans ... Det er en vidunderligt sær effekt ... - endnu én af mange givende overraskelser på denne fremragende udgivelse [dansk oversættelse: Andreo Michaelo Mielczarek]".

"Rune Glerup is a Danish composer working with instrumental, electro-acoustic and electronic music ... Glerup's String Quartet No. 2 Perhaps Thus the End has seven titled but linked movements. The spirit of the Irish novelist Samuel Beckett (1906-89) is quoted as the inspiration for the piece ... It's played lightly and in an airy fashion which I found to be peaceful and soothing ... The clarinet quintet was first performed on 14 March 2015 ... Woven into the three movements are electronic elements, downsized to chamber scale for discretion using transducers mounted on instruments ... If you are looking for harmony and easily accessible melodies, this CD probably isn't for you but it's very well played and full of emotion".

"Rune Glerups strygekvartet er et djævelsk virtuost værk, som franske Quatuor Diotima forløser i overlegen stil ... Et nyt album på Dacapo Records præsenterer to af hans kammermusikværker med den franske strygekvartet Quatuor Diotima og klarinettisten Jonas Frølund ... Quatuor Diotima forløser det med forbløffende styrkekontrol og teknisk panache".
