Jonathan Pennington has recorded (using Erasmian pronunciation) all the NT passages from Mounce's GRADED GREEK READER, plus all of I John and the Sermon on the Mount. 2 CDs, from Zondervan. He makes a few mistakes (I noticed a couple in Romans 5 -- e.g., he says apethanon, when it should be apethanen; I think he pauses AFTER eirenen, rather than before it, in 5:1), and he pronounces iota usually as a short "i" so, e.g., "epi" -- which I usually pronounce kind of like "eh-pee" -- is pronounced like "eh-pi" (as in "pin"). That said, I think it's quite good for pronunciation and read-along practice, and he has a great voice to listen to. There is also a Mary Phemister(?) who has recorded the entire Westcott-Hort GNT on the Internet, which you can listen to for free -- again using the Erasmian pronunciation. Spiros Zodhiates has recorded the entire GNT on audiotape using the Modern Greek pronunciation, which is more similar to NT-times pronunciation than Erasmian is, if one compares both
with Randall Buth's work on Koine Greek pronunciation.
