Hi Chris. The 5.0 is used as follows:

The Fanfare from La Peri was performed by the brass ensemble from the rear gallery of St. John the Divine, so the main presence is in the two rear (surround) channels.

All the other cuts are "full immersion" with the orchestra. Left and Right Front are approx. 12 feet apart in the middle of the orchestra, roughly between the strings and the woodwinds/brass. Center is directly in front of the conductor's podium. Left and Right Surround are in front of the violins and cellos, respectively: directly to the left and right, and slightly (about 2 feet) behind the baseline of the conductor's podium.

Therefore, in La Peri Fanfare, main sound is in the Surrounds, with the Front and Center mainly hall ambience.

In Poulenc, Jongen, and Bacri, there is direct sound from the orchestra in all five channels, with the Strings appearing to wrap around the listener's position.
