I use this cd to pray the rosary while I am driving (I drive over three hours a day). I like the music snippets, the voices of the leader and the responder, and the tempo (not too fast or too slow). Both the leader (a male) and the responder (a female) have strong, clear, reverent voices. After each mystery is announced they read a very short quote from the Bible which helps you get your mind on that particular mystery. There are quite a few extra prayers at the end (like Hail Holy Queen and the Memorare, as well as a litany of intercessions), but if you don't like to end your rosary that way you can always turn the cd off and finish with your own prayers. I'm glad I purchased this cd.

I just receieved my copy of the CD set today and after listening to the Sorrowful Mysteries I can only find one drawback. It's toooo fast! The prayers are being far to fast for me to keep up. In fact, I had trouble catching my breath between Hail Marys. I would mush rather have the prayers slowed down a bit so that I can concenrate on the words and thoughts. Other than that, the music is great and helps one meditate during the mysteries. I would suggest this CD set overall and if you can keep up with the speed at which the prayers are said you'll really enjoy it!

Have been using the rosary CD for daily prayer in a nursing home chapel about a month. Excellent, positive responses from all participants. Prayers not too fast nor too slow - easy to mediatively pray along.

I'll echo the pros and cons listed in other reviews and add my two cents...

It's clear the speakers recorded each prayer only once, and then those recordings were strung together (no pun intended) to make up the decades. I found the woman speaker's voice to be calming, but the male speaker's delivery and inflections reminded me of a corporate training video...a little too canned, and having that inflection and delivery repeated over and over is something of a distraction.

Great CD to say the Rosary alone or in a group. Beautifully recorded. Thank you!

As a person who prefers Gregorian Chant to pop music, I found this to be a disappointment, but if you like "easy listening" music, this may work for you.

I live in New York City. I commute via mass transit. This CD set helps me utilize my morning commute as quality prayer time.

This CD is perfect for listening to in the car or at home. It takes you through each mystery of the rosary at a good pace. The voices are clear, the music is lovely and I like the intercessions at the end of each mystery. A good purchase at a good price.

I'm an Episcopalian,and I've recently begun to recite the Rosary on a daily basis. I use this CD to help me pray in the morning, and the Rosary is the exact length of my commute home, so I play it on my way home from work.
The rosary is not sung, but reciTed to music; and is very pleasant. My only objection is that there is no silence after the mystery.

The Rosary 2 Cd Set is a great product. I use it to say my Rosary in my car. It is beautiful to listen to and very interactive. It helps me to meet my goal of saying the Rosary at least once per week and each day during Lent.
