Deceptive journalism. The Akademie isn’t intended to produce musicians specifically for the Berlin Phil; a few eventually make it in the orchestra, but not most. In no way was he “plucked” from the Berlin Phil. And he wasn’t a concertmaster until he got the Rotterdam job.
Additionally, musicians’ time at the academy is 2 years; Yaron-Mayersohn hasn’t been a member of the Berlin Phil Orchestra Academy for more than a year now.
@NL, for accuracy, how about “Rotters Pluck From The OAE”?

Much more likely to attract clicks if you can make it look like a concertmaster of the Berlin Phil left to take a job in Rotterdam.
