Very recommendable! Composed by Beethoven around the time as Symphony No. 9. Outstanding! Another Ode to Joy or Elysian music "Joy, beautiful spark of Divinity"!
"It is generally considered one of the composer's supreme achievements and, along with Bach's Mass in B minor, one of the most significant Mass settings of the common practice period." (Source)
Here is a nice companion writeup about this work by Ludwig van Beethoven:
