If you are interested in knowing how Old English and Middle English really sounded like, check the following link from the Norton Anthology. You can listen to excerpts from all periods, but surely the most interesting for us is "The Middle Ages". You can listen to Caedmon's Hymn, The Battle of Maldon, The Wanderer and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, among others!
Enjoy!
