About "Oakeley: Psalm 119: Verses 113-120 "Iniquos odio habui"" by John Scott
Oakeley's 'Iniquos odio habui'—'I hate the wicked'—is no gentle psalm. John Scott drives the choir with stern conviction, the organ's reeds biting like frost. Yet the harshness is tempered by a flicker of vulnerability, as if hatred itself is a burden.
