[B-Greek] "Historic Biblical Pronunciation" vs. Modern?

I have enjoyed following along in my Greek NT as Revelation chapter 1 is
read. It is at Greg Helding's site, but doesn't say who the reader is. This
sounds much more convincing than the recordings, read by an American woman,
which I previously listened to from the CCEL site.

He certainly speaks with a very low pitched voice, but he makes sense of
what he reads, which I didn't think the woman reader was doing.

What do others think of this attempt?

I am not used to the pronunciation. I am guessing this is the reconstructed
KOINE Greek, which is close to Modern Greek.
