Listeners, interested in composers like Hessenberg, Reger, Furtwängler, Kempff, Strauss, shouldn’t overlook this release of Karl Höller’s two, very different, symphonies: https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/classic/detail/-/art/Karl-H%F6ller-1907-1987-Orchesterwerke-Vol-1/hnum/5340806It’s out now for some time and I’ve enjoyed it immensely. Probably you all are aware of this release too: https://www.amazon.co.uk/H%C3%B6ller-Symphonic-Fantasy-Sweelinck-Variations/dp/B00083D4JI which I can recommend to everyone who likes the various variation works Max Reger composed.

seems that labels now are reissuing their catalog in HD instead of focusing on new unrecorded works....uggghhh another Beethoven or Brahms cycle... really????
True, even 'minors' like Pentatone, start recording the well known repertoire. From their newsletter: With his Moscow-based State Academic Symphony Orchestra “Evgeny Svetlanov” (GASO), the Russian maestro will helm a new complete cycle of the symphonies of Sergei Prokofiev , the first installment of which will feature Symphonies Nos. 2 and 3 and is slated for release in November this year. Both the original and revised versions of Symphony No. 4 will follow in 2018.

As a box set? I don't think so. I remember some releases as separate items. And I've seen some for ridiculous prices in Japan, at Tower and HMV, in the 1990s. Those were boxes with works by one composer only, say Lyapunov, Arensky etc. Strange was that the booklets only had Cyrillic and poor English text. I didn't by any of them.
