The Akhmatova Foundation website provides recordings of Akhmatova's voice reading her lyric poems. If you have an hour, you may appreciate a rare recording of Akhmatova reading, Poem Without A Hero.
The recording is set up by sections of the poema; at the far right, one
can open the text, then start the recording and listen while following
along..
There are also recordings of Akhmatova's friends: Osip Mandel'shtam, Boris Pasternak and Joseph Brodsky. The three rare recordings by Mandel'shtam are particularly fascinating.

Gumilev was a leading poet in the Acmeist movement. He was also
Akhmatova's fist husband and father of her only child, Lev
Gumilev. The poet Evgenii Evtushenko recorded two
of Gumilev's most anthogized poems "Giraffe" and "The Stray Tram" (sometimes translated "The Lost Tram," The Runaway Train," "The Lost Tramcar" etc.).
