Yes correct ! The track I listed was the second track from a CD compilation of his work. It was the second track (I cant remember what it was called as the CD is at home) from Man on Iron (1981) directed by fellow Pole, Andrzej Wajda, who won the Palme D'Or for this film.
Could the track be "Man's Destiny" from Man of Iron? The mystery clip is exactly the same time length as what's listed on the cd. Thanks for putting this up. I found it on YouTube under the Polish title for the film with the track title "syzbsza". It's already one of my fave new movie themes.

Thank you for posting this. It just goes to show you that after all these years I still have a lot to learn.
Sounds British (like those recordings conducted by Marcus Dods), but - observing how MD loves French & Japanese composers - I don't expect this composer to be from the U.K.

My focus will be on 20th century compositions alternating with Italian soundtracks (because I think most music from mainstream Hollywood is too easy to guess )
Zardoz its herrmannesque - could almost be a copycat Jason n Argonauts score - first track sounds like a training montage for skeletons and 2nd one is pseudo talos! My guess is a sword/sandal fantasy by one of the older italians.
Hi Zardoz. There are three tracks on your link. I am new to soundcloud (like you i created an account to do this quiz) but i think you need to click on the individual track you want to post and use that URL. I am guessing that it is the 2nd track that you want us to guess. My guess is Rustichelli
BTW beautiful recording and those lush strings, like that echo sound...I have no clue about composer but is elegant something like countryside portrait, pastoral track. If it is not French composer...what about British composer...David Snell or John Cameron.
I thought this might be a fun little diversion for film music aficianados. If you think it's fun, try and guess the composer of the track I've posted. I think it may be a fun way to discover composers or just revisit ones you like.

Yeah - I selected that tone poem for orchestra precisely because it sounds Herrmannesque. But it's not by Herrmann and it's not even written for any film. It is called "Geysir" and was composed in 1961 by Jón Leifs (1899-1968) - but it was not performed until November 1984! Leifs was inspired by natural forces in Iceland and wrote 4 such tone poems. Had "Geysir" been performed in the '60s, I don't expect that Bernard H. would have heard (or heard about) the piece anyway. Imagine Benny attempting a lawsuit in Iceland. Despite some aesthetic similarities in their music, Leifs & Herrmann probably wrote their works in complete ignorance of each other's existence.
I own 2 recordings of "Geysir", but the one I uploaded into soundcloud is the more recent one (recorded digitally during the mid-1990s) available on the Swedish BIS label:
