    The Indiana Jones Piano Solo Collection is finally available... and 5 of the 10 pieces are new arrangements! The highlight is not from Dial of Destiny but from Temple of Doom, with "Short Round's Theme" more than twice as long as the original arrangement to match the entire album track. And it's very well written for piano (advanced). "Parade of the Slave Children" is a new, slightly longer arrangement. It's nice to also have "The Keeper of the Grail" although it's the simplest arrangement in the collection (it's a good piece to practice tone and phrasing however).
     
    As for Dial of Destiny, "Helena's Theme" matches the entire album track, as expected, but "Archimedes' Tomb" includes a different ending than the album track. Is this arranged from a different track/cue, or is it just the arranger's choice to add an extra section?
     
    Overall, this collection is unlike the previous ones that have been published for Star Wars and Harry Potter. It's much smaller, but well worth having for the new material.

    Now that I recall, I had some difficulties encoding the last track of CD 1, the Close Encounters Suite. It took a while in EAC, or perhaps I used Burst Mode—I can't quite recall. Nonetheless, I eventually managed to obtain a perfectly encoded cue.

    Close Encounters of the Digital Errors!

    The Close Encounters track had problems playing on my sound system/Blu-ray but ripped fine to iTunes on my lap top.

    Will PM you shortly, thanks a lot
    I had the feeling that it was more a mastering issue. Maybe not every set is affected but I am not surprised to see that I am not the only one. This is one of the reason why I am not sure if  returning the set is the right thing to do, as it is possible that I will get having the same issue :/

    I agree that many of them have no idea of what they are talking about...however I couldn't get a replacement, I have to go through return&refund then reorder it again :/.
     
     
    I wasn't aware of this, will try, thanks.

    I've had the same issue with disc 1, that final track never ripped. However it plays perfectly fine so I was okay with it

    I can send you the track if you can't rip it. Such things happens, technology is not perfect.

    Why is there no excitement for what is quite realistically "the first and most incomplete 'complete collection' in the history"?

    I have been waiting for over three thirty years for a Last Crusade folio. Having finally an official release nearly makes me cry, even if I already have the scherzo on a different collection.
    Still it's a missed opportunity given the huge amount of themes that could have been included from the other movie as well, but I will be happy about the keeper of the grail and the pieces of the last movie (I have everything else on the original folios).

    Following up on the Star Wars Piano Anthology (Hal Leonard) and the Harry Potter Piano Anthology (Faber), Hal Leonard is publishing an Indiana Jones Piano Solo Collection: https://www.halleonard.com/product/1243151/indiana-jones-piano-solo-collection
     
    Included are two excerpts from each of the five films. Entirely new are "The Keeper of the Grail" from Last Crusade (finally!) and "Helena's Theme" and "Archimedes' Tomb" from Dial of Destiny! It also looks like "Parade of the Slave Children" is a new arrangement. Samples at the link above.
     
    I am glad we finally get an arrangement of "Helena's Theme", and an additionnal excerpt from Last Crusade. But I also feel that compared to the Star Wars and Harry Potter anthologies, this one is lackluster. Why not, at least, also include the other 4 pieces that had previously been published but not reprinted since their original folios ("The Basket Game", "Love Theme" from Temple of Doom, "The Crystal Spell", and "The Journey to Akator")?
