Quando, Quando, Quando…

One of the most immersive elements in the television series Ripley has to be its music.

While we are obsessed with the cast and filming locations, the music has truly transformed the show.

Speaking to Netflix about working on the series, composer Jeff Russo said: “Working with Steve Zaillian [director] is always deeply gratifying on an artistic level.

“The final score for Ripley is the result of two years of writing for a story that is so extraordinarily well crafted, the music just seemed to flow out effortlessly somehow.

“The thrilling and emotionally manipulative narrative contains so much tension, confusion and misdirection, and it was incredible to channel into that dynamic for this score.”

In addition to the tension and flourishes of the score, several songs also feature in the series Ripley – and some even recur throughout the eight episodes.

Here is your guide to the soundtrack of Ripley.
