There's
some sort of ground loop audible, especially in the right
channel...
same here with crap headphones.
First heard at 4:10 then when there is long silence
and at 8:15 at the end (different from the one at 4:10)

The link we all listened to has several musical correct rests. This is
what the OP perhaps means by "silence". I also would say that there
especially is audible noise in the "silence", rests.

This is without doubt the ugliest sound I've heard in the last
30 years or so. It's also missing some parts which are clearly
present in the score (which I happen to have at hand as I recorded
that symphony some months ago).
As to the remark made by another poster:

doesn't deserve
better. Not, that isn't well played, but the sounds show this piece
for what it is.
I'd say that even the worst 1% of what Mozart produced has
some orders of magnitude more subtlety, musicality, humanity
and beauty in it than 99% of the output of who wrote that
nonsense.
My <preferred deity>, if this the level of conversation on this
list, I wonder what I'm doing here.

It's not the first time I got blamed for something, somebody else has
written.
Please read more carefully and after that take care about the ones who
has got written what you like or don't like.
TIA,

I know ! And I introduced this with:
"As to the remark made by another poster:"
'another' meaning 'not you'.

Give the Ntonyx style-enhancer a try. It is a Windows program, runs, not
totally, using wine. Can do wonders for horns, string sections, any solo or
choral part. I think it would improve this rendition immensely.
Operates on the MIDI. It can create quite dense MIDI so the synth playing it
needs be able to handle this. Timidity will overload easily, for example.

Just took: ftp://www.hydrophones.com/Mozart-Symphony40--early-digital-synths.ogg
extracted: http://sed.free.fr/4.10.wav
and: http://sed.free.fr/8.15.wav
beware, hardcorely amplified.
There is kind of static noise (maybe ogg, maybe my extraction process, maybe my tools,
maybe whatever)
and a very audible grounding sound.
