Spanish term or phrase: consiguen toda su dimensión
El disco es un prodigio de armonía, con una musicalidad tan alta que da a la caza alcance. Los poemas de (poet's name), tratados con delicadeza y con amor, *consiguen toda su dimensión*, cosa muy difícil en estos casos (pocas veces se han logrado conjunciones de esa naturaleza, quizás la de (singer's name) con (poet's name) y poco más).

agree  HugoSteckel: I like your idea. I wonder also if we could use something like "draws/gets every ounce of.. out of the poems"

  -> That's a good suggestion. Maybe it should be gramme if it's for a European readership!

reach their full potential


Explanation:
other ideas:
reach / achieve their highest levels
