Translated into English from: Topakian, Stéphane (1992). Furtwängler et Honegger (PDF). Société Wilhelm Furtwängler newsletter, July 1992. Accessed from the Furtwängler Society homepage. Topakian suggests that Honegger may have known the symphony from Furtwängler's 1952 recording, though of course his acquaintance with the conductor himself went back rather further and indeed, Honegger dedicated his Mouvement symphonique Nº 3 to Furtwängler and the Berlin Philharmonic, as Topakian notes in his article.
