Best Audio Recordings of the Greek New Testament

Greek Learning Greek

Does anyone know of any best audio recordings of the Greek New Testament read out loud? There are some readings on YouTube, but I do not know whether they were made by the native speakers of the Greek language and whether they reproduce correct pronunciation of the ancient Geek words.

And are there also good recordings of the reading of the Septuagint?

A list of many different recordings that includes descriptions and reviews of each one can be found here:

Thank you. I can see that a lot of people have produced audio recordings of the Greek New Testament. I guess that the best ones are those made by speakers of the modern Greek language, since they must be able to pronounce the ancient language better than non-Greeks.

This is the comprehensive Audio I found, but I hope to have more choices to compare

I liked this recording of Mark by Algirdas Akelaitis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UeyzbPUiM4

I think it’s ambiguous what would be meant by better in this context. Many Greeks read ancient Greek with modern pronunciation. Nearly all non-Greeks use an Erasmian pronunciation, which has the advantage of standardization. Some people prefer a historically accurate reconstructed pronunciation.

Personally I like Erasmian because I find it easy to hear all the distinctions that appear in writing.
