On a homepage called
http://www.bagbybeowulf.com/background.html
it was stated:

Current and future projects include a reconstruction of portions of
the Old Icelandic Poetic Edda, and a CD-ROM recording of the entire
Beowulf, in which the original manuscript, several translations,
commentaries and archaeological information will accompany the
performance (to be released by German Harmonia Mundi / BMG Classics).

I have no idea how far the project is advanced or if it has been
delayed?
For anyone interested about ancient languages, there is some
discussion on here,
various posts from p. 23 onwards
