Here the word "registro" seems to be like "registering" - an abstract way of saying "feeling" or "experiencing" - but there is also the musical sense of "registro" which is why I like the option of using "chords".
I didn't directly translate "mayor capacidad" but its flavor is connoted by the word "fullest".
And "realizar" is an abstract way of saying "expressing" or "portraying" - also "achieving" of course but I think a work of art might express or portray more than achieve a feeling or experience.
Finally, I didn't interpret "el ser humano" as an *individual* "human being", but rather as the state of human *being* in general - ie, human "existence" or "experience."
Other possibilities:
"...to portray the deepest depths / the furthest reaches of human emotions/feelings..."

to probe/ sound the depths/the range of human experience
I also thought of the word depths, which can collocate with verbs like probe or sound. Musical register covers a range, as in this case, and linguistic register does so as well, but the word register doesnt sound quite right here.

| I like your thinking, Marjory and I'm sure that your entry will be taken into consideration also. Thanks! |

to express the full extent of the range of human experience
as commented previously if 'registros'was seen in the musical sense then perhaps 'scale' or extent /range would be useful.
