Hi Callum,
The word translated as firmaments is also translated as 'heavens'. God often describes in the Qur'an His creation of the heavens and the earth. I provided an explanation of that verse in the following article:
http://www.load-islam.com/C/rebuttal..._or_the_Earth/

For the recitation, here is a recitation of the second chapter:
Suratul Baqarah recited by Muhammad Ayoub
Suratul Baqarah recited by Mishary Rashid Al-Efasi
Suratul Baqarah recited by Abdullah Matrood

Pick whichever one you like most. For a spiritually uplifting experience, try reading the english translation as he recites the arabic.

Peace!
