The translation of The Inferno used by fellows and faculty of the Center is by Anthony Esolen.
This lecture by Esolen on the final image of Lucifer embedded in ice (along with some other material from Purgatory) is an outstanding introduction to the central meaning of the Inferno. Esolan's style is a bit ragged, but his commentary gets one directly into the heart of the Inferno, and his lecture also gives one some insight into how to read the rest of the imagery of the Comedy.
Note: the lecture isn't actually as long as it appears. Some of the recording is taken up with questions and answers.
