"The tenor is {has to be} committed no matter what he thinks {i.e.,
beyond himself}: there are not too many of them: but it is important to
recognize that squelched or cancelled high notes (that A#) are
nevertheless a provision of style in the performance of almost any tenor."
"ultra vires" is a legal term, which I have summarized very badly above.
"schiacciare" means "to crush" or "squelch", and might mean "cracked"
here; I don't have enough context to tell. "stimbrare" is an intransitive
form of the verb "timbrare", to cancel.
