I perform the presto movement from Vivaldi's “Summer” from The Four Seasons on several homemade C64- and Amiga-based instruments.

The bass (cello) part is performed on a plain breadbin C64. The solo violin and second violin parts are performed on the C=TAR. The viola part is reproduced using floppy drive noise. The Amiga provides drums and a little bit of Kalimba.

All hardware modifications are my own, and I also wrote the software: Qwertuoso (and derivatives) for the C64 and Paulimba for the Amiga. Appropriately, it's all bare-metal programming.
