DeFesch was a Dutch performer-composer who later moved to London where he composed several oratorios in English, including "Joseph." In a commercial recording of this piece, the title role is sung by a soprano, so I presume in this performance it has been transposed down for a tenor, but Joseph Cornwell is very appealing in it.
