Hidden Masterpiece
I happened to hear this suite on YouTube and found it interesting, so I searched for the sheet music and got it from Sheet Music Plus. It may not be well-known, but I think it is a hidden masterpiece.

Great music
Great music, indeed. Was composed by B. Britten for his friend, the cellist Rostropovich. Its based on russian folk themes. Nicely writed, full of guidelines to interpretation and there's notes about each suite. Awesome!Check it out!
