The player isn't listed, the comments carry a speculation but I don't know so I won't pass it on.
Fré Focke was one of Anton Webern's students and while the pieces here are very short, as Webern's were, they are quite different from his style. I think it's a sign of a great composition teacher that their students don't end up copying them.
I'd never heard of Focke until last weekend when I was reading about Webern's little known conducting career. This is his only piece I managed to listen to. The pictures represented are listed by the person who posted this as:
Barques aux Santes-Marie
Iris
La moisson
La café de nuit
Les blés verts
La berceuse
La cueillette des olives
Le pont-Levis
Les lavandières
Nuit étoilée
Verger
L'arbre
La route aux Cyprès
Champ d'oliviers
Tige d'amandier fleuri
L'homme à l'oreille coupée
Jeune fille assise
Les paveurs
Paysage à Auvers
Champ de blé aux corbeaux.
There are many evocative and distinct moments in the music, the composer was clearly talented.
