I have finally gotten my hands on the first record of Rouse's 1932 Linguaphone recording thanks to the University of Chicago archive. The second (more interesting) record is, alas, still unavailable.
Rouse's enunciation is very clear, and he uses a pronunciation very similar to the Vox Graeca suggested pronunciation from some decades later, with minor differences. His cadence is good, and his tonal accents are strong, with a sing-song quality.

W.H.D. Rouse's Sounds of Ancient Greek
“One might get one’s Greek from the very lips of Homer and Plato." "In which case they would certainly plough you for the Little-go. The German scholars have improved Greek so much.”

Re: W.H.D. Rouse's Sounds of Ancient Greek
The British Library was able to get me copies of the second disc. You can now hear Rouse read Demosthenes, Sophocles, Homer, and Pindar.
