Nearby Schirmer matrices 2100/3 are Benjamin Britten and Colin McPhee, and my 
sources have this as a 1941 recording, based on when Britten was in New York 
(he returned to England in the spring of 1942). And these aren't recorded by 
Reeves.

Rust doesn't list the session, but lo and behold..Lord puts it in February 1942. Anyone know for sure? Lord says "1943" is the erroneous date. Where did 1945 come from?

The earliest company to settle with the union and sign a contract was Decca on September 18, 1943, Capitol settled on October 9, 1943, most of the smaller labels (presumably including Schirmer) settled on November 3, 1943.
