Garofalo is probably Carlo Giorgio Garofalo, 1886-1962.  His symphony
no. 1 is also his "Romantic Symphony of St. Louis", from 1914 or so, a
holograph of which - about 50 minutes of music- can be seen at the American
Music Center.  It's scored for 3322/4431/timpani, percussion/organ and
strings.  I suspect that's the symphony on the Marco Polo CD...  The
American Music Center also has a violin/piano reduction of his 40-minute
violin concerto in d minor.  Other works by him there include a Danza
bizzarra for piano, a danzi di fate, a Notturnino dall'oper Il giocoliere
(Atto secondo) (for orchestra, lasting about 5 minutes), a symphonic
poem "Ireland", a piano solo Mazurka da concerto, and "Vespero" for
violin and orchestra.  Another recording of the Romantic Symphony exists,
on Romanza Classics RC 1001 (from 1998), with the Moscow Radio Symphony
Orchestra conducted by Joel Spiegelman (apparently according to
http://www.ascap.com/playback/2001/february/concert.html the same forces
will be performing the work on the Marco Polo CD, so I'll admit to some
confusion...  new performance or rerelease?)

Luis Gianneo - Argentinean - wrote also a sinfonietta (homenaje a Haydn),
a flute sonatina, a Lamento quichua y criolla (previously recorded by the
Solistas de Buenos Aires, cond.  Alberto Epelbaum, on Qualiton LP, 1972,
and in arrangement on a Dorian CD in 1995), siete piezas infantiles para
piano, an Argentian suite for mandolin & orchestra (recorded by Jacob
Thomas, mandolin, and the Heidelberg Chamber Orchestra (notes by Harry
Halbreich) on an Oryx LP around 1969,) Obertura para una comedia infantil
(for orch), El Tarco en flor (symphonic poem), Cuatro composiciones para
piano, Tres danzas argentinas, Caminito de Belen (the little road to
Bethlehem) for piano, Villancico (also for piano), La Danz de las liebres
(voice & piano), and a Variaciones sobre un tema de tango (for orchestra)
among other works.  According to
http://members.tripod.com/~ostinato/about.html there are plans to release
Gianneo's complete piano works on Marco Polo (3 CDs, of which this would
then be the first, funded by the Fundacion Ostinato whose webpage that is.
They apparently also co-produced the Ginastera piano concerti CD on Naxos,
according to that same webpage (well, good- I'd been hoping for a new
release of the 2nd concerto.) Still looking for biographical information
on Gianneo himself...  born and died in Argentina, Jan.  9 1897(8?)-(Aug
16?) 1968...  students included Marta Lambertini...conservatory named after
him in Mar del Plata...  Dec.  97 Recs International Catalog lists a Koch
Discover release (920268) with his violin sonata, by the way.  It describes
him as one of the "principal founders of the Argentinian national school
of composition,...greatly influenced by the folk melodies of the native
population of Tucuman province in his native country".  I think there's
every reason to assume it's the same Gianneo:)
