A full-blooded musician, who feels equally at home in all aspects of his work. Whether a soloist, chamber musician or tutor, wether as a stylistic of intricate Baroquemusic or as a virtuoso specialist of modern music, honesty is always the first of his musical virtues: "Music can only be good if one stands behind it instinctively". An infallible instinct for everything natural leads to his spontaneous "playing from the heart", which also certainly stands up to intellectual examination. Versatility is the characteristic of the allround talent of Helmut Erb, a true cosmopolitan of the trumpet, who has, meanwhile, placed himself in the top rank of German musicians who enjoy international standing. |  |
