Dimitar Pentchev’s “1:05” (2012), for clarinet, violin, cello and piano, begins haltingly but evolves into a driven, tight-knit conversation in which all four instruments have ample time in the spotlight and difficult, showy lines to play. Allan Kozinn, New York Times.

A cabaret score provided by Dimitar Pentchev is by far the most curious addition to the set. In capturing a cabaret style of the silent era he naturally sets a tone for the film which wouldn’t have sounded foreign at all during its original release. Kevin Glivear, The Digital Fix

The ‘cabaret score’ score was created by Dimitar Pentchev and is a more light heated and fanciful musical track. I really enjoyed this track during the party scenes in the film… John Sinnot, DVDtalk

Second is the Cabaret Score by composer Dimitar Pentchev. That one ranges broadly from the Kurt Weill style we associate with the dance-hall dives of Weimar-era Berlin, to slower, somber sections that sound more modern, at least to these ears. Mark Bourne, DVD Journal.

I decided to go with “Cabaret Score” and was not disappointed. Composed by Dimitar Pentchev, the score sets the film in a Weimar-era (1920s) cabaret, incorporates elements of popular European music of that time with the contemporary techniques of presenting it. IMDB review
